Documentation
Definition
The Criticality Safety Index (CSI) is assigned to packages, overpacks, and containers containing fissile material.
Chapter 2.2.7.6.2 of ADR/RID 2001 explains how the value for the criticality safety index is calculated. Here is a summary of the information listed there:
CSI = 50/N N is the smaller of the two values A and B.
A: For normal conditions of carriage, a number A shall be derived, such that five times A shall be subcritical for the arrangement and package conditions that provide the maximum neutron multiplication. A can be equal to infinity.
B: For accident conditions of carriage, a number B shall be derived, such that two times B shall be subcritical for the arrangement and package conditions that provide the maximum neutron multiplication. B can be equal to infinity.
If A and B are infinite, CSI is equal to 0.
Use
The criticality safety index is specified as a number without a unit with two decimal places.
