. SHIPMENT OF LIMITED QUANTITIES OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS 49 CFR 173.391 1.0 GENERAL Shipments of limited quantities of radioactive material may be shipped routinely through the mail or by other means provided that the conditions of this procedure are met.

2.0 REFERENCES

2.1 49 CFR Parts-100 to 199, Tranrportation 3.0 SHIPMENT OF LIMITED QUANTITIES OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL 3.1 The radioactive materials to be shipped must be classified as " normal 4

form" radioactive material and must not exceed the following quantities.

3.1.1 0.01 mci of Group I radionuclides.

-/f 3.1.2 0.1 mci of Group II radionucidies.

3.1.3 1.0 mci of Groups III, IV, V, or VI radionuclides.

3.1.4 25 Curies of Group VII radionuclides.

3.1.5 Tritium oxide in aqueous solution with a concentration not

' exceeding 0.5 mci per milliliter and with a total activity per package of not more than three Curies.

3.1.6 A maximum of 1.0 mci of radioactive material in "special

4. form" may be shipped as limited quantity.

3.1.7 No more than 15 grams of U-235 may be shipped in any form as limited quantity.

3.2 The above quantities of radioactive material are excepted from specification packaging, marking, and labeling, and are excepted from the general packaging and shipment requirements of 49 CFR 173.393, if l

the following conditions are met.

.~.)- RDW 5.2 Page 2 3.2.2 The external radiation dose rate at any point on the externel surface of the package must not exceed 0.5

.. mrem / hour.

3.2.3 There must be no significant removable radioactive surface contamination on the exteriors of the package. (See Table "A".)

TABLE "A" .

Maximum Permissible Level Contaminant (dis / min)/100 cm d Beta gamma 2200*

Alpha 220*

• The policy at PBNP is to reduce external contamination levels to <MDA. Therefore, contamination levels in excess of 10% of those listed above require Health Physics Supervisor approval prior to release.

/g- 3.2.4 The outside of the inner container must bear the marking I~ " Radioactive".

4.0 The shipment

• of various radioactive devices may also be made under the

" limited quantity" designation. For information on this type of shipment refer to 49 CFR 173.391.
