A general scheme is proposed for making insurance agreements and an algorit
hm for ecological insurance for handling radioactive wastes is developed. i
v is recommended that the IAEA information be used for determining the prob
ability of an accident during shipment of radioactive wastes and that the t
otal yearly shipment mileage be taken into account. Suggestions are made fa
r making insurance agreements depending on the type of wastes shipped. Thes
e developments are the basis for preparing methodological documentation on
ecological insurance for handling radioactive wastes. 1 figure, 3 tables, 1
