A procedure is presented for developing the route characterization used to assess the risk for the highway transport of nuclear materials. The types of data needed for a risk assessment and the sources used to provide that data are discussed. An outline of the methods used to get from data source to the route characterization used for risk analysis is presented. The models and methodologies developed for this study were programmed into the ADROIT computer code, which ha become one of Sandia`s principal analysis tools for doing risk assessments for the highway transportation risk for nuclear materials.
