Abstract

Purpose. safe transportation, prevention and prevention of emergency situations that occur in practice during transportation, transportation, transshipment, transfer and storage of radioactive substances, compounds and materials and may carry a potential (actual) threat of radioactive contamination of the earth, water and air. The technique. In carrying out the research, an analytical review of the main regulatory legal acts on the safe transportation of radioactive material railway transport was carried out.  Results. The authors determined a safe method for the transport of radioactive goods by rail. A number of regulatory documents were analyzed that determine the safe  transportation, prevention and prevention of emergencies that occur in practice during transportation, transportation, transshipment, haul and storage of radioactive substances, compounds and materials and may carry a potential (actual) threat of radioactive contamination of the earth, water and air. Scientific novelty. It has been determined that the current prophylactic standard in the practice of rail transportation is full information about dangerous radioactive cargo (material) and regulatory and instructive requirements regarding the actions of personnel in the transport of radioactive materials in the event of an emergency or damage to the cargo. Practical significance. A safe methodology has been formulated for the transport of radioactive goods by rail according to which the prophylactic standard in the practice of rail transport is complete information about the dangerous radioactive cargo (material) and regulatory and instructive requirements regarding the  actions of personnel in the transport of radioactive materials in the event of an emergency or damage to the cargo. which may allow safer transportation of dangerous goods.
