Title: The consequences of accidental releases during rail shipments of radioactive strontium

Abstract

Large quantities of radiostrontium inn the form of strontium carbonate have been shipped from HAPO in the HAPO-II shipping systems. Modifications have recently been completed to equip the two HAPO-I systems for shipments of strontium. This report updates previous hazards evaluations such shipments, to account for the greater strontium inventory of the HAPO-I system.
