The paper summarizes some recent approaches to ensuring the safe and secure transport of dangerous materials of the CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) category, with more details given in addressing their Radiological (R) and Nuclear (N) components. These substances are usually produced in one place but used in another, where they must be transported. During the movement of CBRN material, strict protection measures should be applied to protect the persons involved in the transport and the security of the transported cargo so that unauthorized persons do not have access to these dangerous substances. Special attention should be paid to ensure adequate protection of people and the environment in case of any accident or terrorist attack. Relevant emergency standards should be applied to minimize the consequences of such situations. Although most of the essential protection measures are similar for each of the CBRN components, there are some specific requirements to ensure necessary safety and security for R and N agents.
