Criticality Safety Assessments. Appendix VI

This appendix offers general advice on the demonstration of compliance with the requirements established of the Transport Regulations for packages containing fissile material. The performance and documentation of a thorough criticality safety assessment provide the necessary demonstration of compliance. The documentation of the criticality safety assessment (to be included in the package design safety report (PDSR)) is an essential part of the application for approval submitted to the competent authority. This criticality safety assessment should be performed by the application of suitable management system procedures at all stages, as required the Transport Regulations.
