Özet

The transportation and tracking of nuclear materials has become one of the leading areas of study in recent years.

Nuclear material transportation includes many important parameters, such as sustainability, security, and

transparency. Many factors (temperature, time, etc.) are critical in the transportation and tracking of these

materials. This study focuses on the use of blockchain technology in nuclear material transportation. The security

of the processes can be increased by using blockchain technology in nuclear material supply processes. An example

architecture is presented based on the results of the studies conducted in the literature. In addition, the benefits that

blockchain can provide and its usability in nuclear material transportation are evaluated. The main purpose of this

study is to present how efficient blockchain technology can be in nuclear material transportation. The study has

shown that nuclear material transportation using blockchain technology can significantly contribute to

transportation methods.
