RECEIVING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL NOTE:
Radioactive material must be accepted from the carrier at the time it is delivered.
If radioactive material is to be held at the carrier's terminal, it must be picked up cxpeditiously upon receipt of notification from the carrier of its arrival.
1.
Upon receipt of a package of radioactive material, survey the exterior surfaces of the package to insure that the radiation levets c'.o not exceed 200 mr/hr.
2.
Survey three feet from the exterior surfaces of the package to insure thsc radiation levels do not exceed 10 mr/hr.
3.
Record the results of these surveys on the Radiation Receiving Report.
If any of the above limits are exceeded, notify the Radiation Safety Officer.
4.
Record on the Receiving Report the source, model number, serial number, isotope, activity, shipping container number and serial numb +:.
5.
Insr.ect the package for any evidence of physical damage.
Record the results of this inspection on the Receiving Report.
6.
Forward a copy of the Receiving Report to the Radiation Safety Officer.

SHIPPING RADIOACTIVE !iATERIAL 1.
Insure that the source is secured in the proper shielded storage position in the storage coatainer.
2.
Attach a security seal with identification mark to the package closure.
3.
If the shipping container is to be packaged inside a crate or other packaging, the outer packaging must be strong enough to withstand the normal conditions of transport.
Place the shipping container in the outer package with sufficient block-ing to prevent shifting during transportation.
4.
Survey the package at the surfaces and at three feet from the surface to determine the proper radioactive shipping labels to be applied to the package.
Surface 3 Feet Radioactive White I 0.5 mr/hr None Radioactive Yellow II 50 mr/hr 1.0 mr/hr Radioactive Yellow III 200 mr/hr 10 mr/hr 5.
Properly complete two shipping labels indicating the contents (Cobalt 60, Iridium 192), the number of curies and the Transport Index (maximum radiation level measured at three feet from the surface; used on Yellow II and Yellow III labels only).
6.
Insure that any old shipping labels have been removed from the package.
Apply the two properly completed radioactive shipping labels to opposite sides of the package.
7.
Mark the outside of the package with the proper shipping name (Radioactive Material, special form, n.o.s.) if not already marked.
8.
If a shipping container is packaged inside a crate or other packaging mark the outside package "Inside Container in Accord-ance with
" (fill in the blank space with the appro-priate DOT Specification Number of Type B Certification Number) and the words " Type B" or " Type A" if applicable.
9.
Pe. form a radioactive wipe test of the shipping container and in-sure that the wipe test does not exceed 0.001 micro curies per 100 square centimeters).
