Design Approval of Special Form Radioactive Material- Important Aspects
- The design of a special form radioactive material has to resist a severe transport accident without undue loss or dispersal of radioactive material. Safety assessment by authorities competent for design approval has to include besides the required test program (impact, percussion, bending and heat test) also the evaluation of the quality management system for design, manufacture, testing, documentation, use, maintenance and inspection. These quality assurance measures have to assure that every specimen of the approved design is produced in the same verified quality and every specimen must be able to survive the severe mechanical and thermal tests without undue loss or dispersal of radioactive material at any time of its working life. All important aspects in the design approval procedure by BAM as the competent authority for approvals of special form radioactive material in Germany are summarized in a guideline published in 2014. This paper will give additional explanations to someThe design of a special form radioactive material has to resist a severe transport accident without undue loss or dispersal of radioactive material.

This paper will give additional explanations to some aspects in safety assessment, e.g.: the applicability of leak test methods and the need to consider ageing aspects.…
