This paper shows our calculations on the effects of a radiological release by assuming a severe accident in nuclear material transportation. Following recalculations of safe distance from the point of a severe accident during transportation of a transportation cask TN12 typically used in France containing spent nuclear fuel, and calculations to replicate the "Regulatory Guide: Emergency Preparedness for Nuclear Facilities", a similar calculation was made for a spent fuel transportation cask NFT-14P that was typically utilized in Japan instead of TN12. The safe distance was calculated to be about 30 m. The above calculations were made with the HotSpot codes which adopted the Gauss plume model and had been developed by the USA. Some additional calculations were made with EyesAct, which was developed and used in Japan, adopting also the Gauss plume model, to compare calculation results.

The paper describes the methdologies ISCN has adopted to develop its training curricula on nuclear security. ISCN has been working closely with the international partners to build its own capacity, especially with the Sandia National Laboratories of the United States. The paper then focuses on the joint course development between IAEA and ISCN on the International Training Course on Transport Security which ISCN hosted in 2015.

The Great East Japan Earthquake caused substantial damage to complex socio-technical systems essential for modern life. This article references Resilience Engineering, which is indicative of the importance of learning from "things that went right", and analyzes things that went right in field responses to the earthquake during the Fukushima accident as well as transport operations, in an attempt to deduce new lessons about emergency responses and preparations against unforeseen contingencies, which are common to socio-technical systems.
