Gentlemen:
Enclosed you will find a draft copy of our proposed Q. A. Program for Trans-portation Packaging as applicable to Industrial Radiography per Title 10 CFR Part 71 Para. 51 for which we plan to develop written procedures in the near future.
Our shipping procedures have been in existence for some time and have met the requirements of the Federal Codes so we feel this should be just a matter of specifying by written procedures how this program is carried out.
Ve ruly yours,
.~ce.~ek C. A. Richardson R. B. Lawrence Radiation Safety Officer Chief Metallurgical Engineer CAR /dh
