the type of shipment, the number of shipments, and the distance that the shipment is made. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES If the reviewer of ESRP 3.8 determines that the proposed transportation of radioactive materials complies with the provisions of paragraph (a) of 10 CFR 51.52, no further analysis is needed. An additional analysis of transportation accidents should be made when the reviewer of ESRP 3.8 determines that the proposed project does not comply with the following provisions of 10 CFR 51.52(a)(5): Unirradiated fuel is shipped to the reactor by truck; irradiated fuel is shipped from the reactor by truck, rail, or barge; and radioactive waste other than irradiated fuel is shipped from the reactor by truck or rail. When transportation modes differing from these are proposed, the reviewer should do the following: (1) Prepare an analysis of the modes as they apply to the proposed transportation of new fuel, irradiated fuel, and radioactive wastes. (a) Conduct the analysis to determine whether the proposed transportation modes can result in environmental risks greater than those summarized in the “Accidents in Transport” section of Table S-4 (in 10 CFR 51.52). (b) When it is obvious that the proposed modes do not represent an increased environmental risk, do the following: ` Terminate the analysis. ` Prepare a statement to the effect that the proposed transportation modes are within the scope of Table S-4. (c) When this is not the case, do the following: ` Consider the accident probabilities and accident statistics for each proposed transportation mode. ` Compare these data with the probabilities and statistics considered in WASH-1238 and Supplement. ` Determine to what extent the differences will affect the accident data of Table S-4. (a) Fuel reprocessing plant. NUREG-1555 7.4-4 October 1999 (2) When the proposed transportation of radioactive materials does not comply with the provisions of 10 CFR 51.52(a)(1-4), determine the extent to which transportation
