'17 1During:the past' year, this' augmented inspection / enforcement program has prompted a number;of questions on the proper application.of certain regulatory e

~ Numerous' questions' involve the application of.the limits of radiation levels L'

- of ' exclusive ;use shipments as prescribed _ in 49 CFR 173.393(j). As' stated' P;

ytherein; the regulation reads _
