The statistical data presented in this chapter come from a study conducted by ASN in 2012. They are based on information collected from all the consignors of radioactive substances (Basic Nuclear Installations – BNIs, laboratories, hospitals, source suppliers and users, etc.), as well as on reports from the transport safety advisers. A summary is available on asn.fr (heading “L’ASN informe/Dossiers pédagogiques/Transport des substances radioactives en France”). The information available to ASN shows that these statistical data are still currently valid.
