The results of the survey are provided in two volumes: the first one containing the description of the search and search results with the list of generated publication titles, and the second volume containing the abstracts of those publications deemed relevant for the purposes of the literature survey. Literature published between 1980 and mid-1999 was reviewed by two independent consultants who generated publication titles by performing searches of appropriate databases, and selected the abstracts of relevant publications for inclusion in this survey. The IAEA operates INIS, the world's leading computerised bibliographical information system on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The acronym INIS stands for International Nuclear Information System. INIS Members are responsible for determining the relevant nuclear literature produced within their borders or organizational confines, and then preparing the associated input in accordance with INIS rules. INIS records are included in other major databases such as the Energy, Science and Technology database of the DIALOG service. Because it is the INIS Members, rather than the IAEA Secretariat, who are responsible for its contents, it was considered appropriate that INIS be the primary source of information for this literature review. Selected unpublished reports were also reviewed, e.g. Draft Proceedings of the Special Consultative Meeting of Entities involved in the maritime transport of materials covered by the INF Code (SCM 5), March 1996. Many of the formal papers at SCM 5 were included in the literature review by manually inserting the appropriate information. A limited search was made of relevant INTERNET web sites and resulting papers were manually incorporated into this report. Although efforts were taken to ensure a wide review of published literature, limited resources prevent this report from being universal in its coverage. This report will be considered by the IMO's Marine Environmental Protection Committee as a basis for further discussions. In practice, packages containing materials subject to the IMO's INF Code are considered safe when designed according to the requirements of the IAEA's Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material.","","Available from INIS in electronic form","International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna (Austria); International Maritime Organization (IMO), London (United Kingdom)","","IAEA","2000-07-10","","English","Technical Report","","","","Other Information: PBD: 10 Jul 2000","","Medium: ED; Size: 769 pages","","MEPC-45/INF.2","","TRN: XA0101142034173","https://doi.org/","","2010-07-08","20176501","https://www.osti.gov/etdeweb/servlets/purl/20176501"
