Abstract

The safe and secure transport of nuclear and radiological materials is critical due to the inherent risks associated with these hazardous substances. This paper explores innovative fabrication solutions that are enhancing safety protocols during transit. Advances in materials science, modular container design, and additive manufacturing (3D printing) have led to the development of stronger, lighter, and more adaptive containment systems. High-performance alloys, radiation-shielding composites, and nanostructured coatings are improving the durability and resilience of transport vessels, while smart technologies like IoT sensors, blockchain tracking, and AI-driven predictive maintenance enhance real-time monitoring and security. Together, these innovations significantly reduce the risks of accidental releases and malicious interference during the transportation of nuclear and radiological materials. This paper highlights the need for continued industry collaboration and regulatory oversight to ensure that these advanced fabrication solutions meet stringent safety standards and address evolving threats.
