Abstract
The paper estimates collective doses due to transport of radioactive material by four modes of transport, i.e. road, rail, sea and air, using a computer code. It examines the parameters listed in the sensitivity analysis table generated by the code for their relative conuibution to the collective dose value. Considering these parameters, relative merits and demertts of a mode from the exposure point of view are discussed. Major dose-conuibuting parameters for each mode are identified, discussed and compared. The maximum dose contributing parameters are identified for each mode. The estimated population exposure occurring due to transport of radioactive material through these modes is discussed and compared, and the safest mode from the ‘minimum collective dose’ point of view, for transport of radioactive material, is recommended.
