Nearly one quarter concern transports linked to the activities of the non-nuclear industry (transport of gamma ray projectors, for example). One fifth concerns the transport of radiopharmaceuticals. When compared with the transport traffic concerned, the non- nuclear industry and medical sectors still report few transport- related events. This low rate can be explained by unfamiliarity with the process and the overall purpose of the event notification, as well as by the lesser safety implications of the radioactive contents being transported.
