Perform a radiation survey of the container to insure that the external radiation level does not exceed 200 mR/hr at - the surface and 10 mR/hr at a distance of 1 meter (rom the surface. (If the level does exceed these limits, the appropriate NRC Regional Office and the final delivery } carrier must be notified.] C. Verify 'that the shipping seal is intact.
