NRC proposes radioactive material transportation rules updates
About three million packages containing radioactive material are transported in the United States every year, and multiple federal agencies work together to ensure the shipments are safe. While the Nuclear Regulatory Commission addresses the design and use of packaging, for example, the Department of Transportation oversees shipments.
Amidst growing prominence of microreactors and other nuclear technologies, the NRC has issued a proposed rule to address how to safely transport new nuclear reactors and their associated radioactive material.
For over 50 years, L3Harris has been the global leader in power plant simulators, working with utilities, plant designers, and research organizations. From CANDU, PWR, BWR, gas-cooled reactors, and SMRs, to 3D digital twins and disruptive display technology like Orchid® IX, we deliver superior simulation and training solutions.
