[en] Sealed radioactive sources are used very widely in industry, medicine and research. These sources are required to be disposed off in a safe manner after they out-live their useful life. These sources are known as spent sources or disused sources. Some of the spent sources contain substantial amount of residual radioactivity. These sources are transported to the supplier or the national disposal agency for their safe disposal. Transport of radioactive material in India is governed by a code issued by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, the competent authority of India. This code is based on the IAEA regulations for safe transport of radioactive material. As part of the radiation protection program for transport of radioactive material in India, dose estimation studies for the transport workers and general public due to transport of spent sources are carried out. The paper estimates, annual collective dose for incident free and accident conditions, accruing due to transport of spent sources generated by nuclear application institutions in India. The estimation is carried out using the computer code INTERTRAN2. The results indicate that the maximum individual dose, due to transport of spent sources for disposal purpose, to transport workers and general public is at least two orders below the dose limits.
