49CFR172.202(aXIX2X3X4)
Proper shipping name, hazard RQ radioactive material, fissile, n.o.s., radioactive class, identification number, material UN2918,25,000 lbs.
gross weight 172.203(c)
RQ (Reportable Quantity) 1.5 kg of fission products; 5.0 kg U-235 49CFR172.203(d)(1)
(i) 173.435, radionuclides MFP(Mixed Fission Products) l (ii) Physical and chemical form Solid metallic, UAls and Al mixed with fission products trapped in this matrix. The UAI,--Al-fission product material is clad with aluminum as fuel plates of MTR-type (Materials Testing Reactor) fuel elements.
(iii) Activity (Curies) 185,000 49CFR173.403(1X3)
Greater than 30,000 Ci, so highway route controlled quantities.
(iv) Label category RADIOACTIVE YELLOW III because it is highway route controlled quantity.
(v) Transport index Based on measurement of radiation level at 3.3 ft. from cask cover. This it measured at the time of shipment, and in our past shipments, has been < 0.5 millirem /hr.
Hence TI =.5 per 49CFR173.403(bbX1). (The DOT has confirmed that this section, and not 49CFR173.403 (bbX2), is applicable.)
