The policy document from the International Atomic Energy Agency that details the safety requirements radioactive material transportation must meet worldwide.
A report by the NRC detailing an updated risk assessment of spent nuclear fuel transportation, which utilized new analytical tools, more data, and better uncertainty techniques.
A report by Sandia National Laboratories discussing historical risk assessments and detailing updated analytical methods for evaluating spent fuel shipping package response to accident conditions.
A report by Lawrence Livermore National Lab evaluating whether the accident conditions specified in regulatory cask requirements are representative of real accident conditions, and what the potential risks of a package exposed to real accident conditions may be in comparison to regulatory accident conditions.
A short document that describes the motivation, scope, and status of risk studies happening at the time of writing. It contextualizes them within prior research and discusses the original approach to the Package Performance Study.
A report by the NRC characterizing the safety of spent nuclear fuel transportation packages if involved in a severe accident. Accident scenarios were characterized based on historical data and cask responses were evaluated based on existing data and mathematical models.
A report by several national labs examining the accident history of spent nuclear fuel worldwide, focusing on the rate and severity of accidents and incidents during the transport of spent nuclear fuel.
The National Academies report on the transportation of spent nuclear fuel.
A document by the American Association of Railroads describing recommended operating practices for railroads carrying hazardous materials. The scope of hazardous materials is not limited to radiological material. Their recommendations include notifications, emergency response information, and other operating best practices.
A short video by the International Atomic Energy Agency explaining how radioactive material shipping packages of many varieties (energy, medical, etc) are tested and transported.
