- Proper shipping name, hazard class RQ radioactive material, fissile, n.o.s.,7, UN2918,
' identification number, gross weight 25,000 lbs.
172.203(c)
RQ (Reportable Quantity); 1.5 kg of fission products 1
Shipment 1: 4.76 kg U-235 49CFR172.203(dX1)
-(i) 173.435, radionuclides MFP(Mixed Fission Products)
(ii) ' Physical and chemical form -
Solid metallic, UA1 and Al mixed with fission products 3
trapped in this matrix. The UAl,--Al-fission product i
material is clad with aluminum as fuel plates of MTR--
type (Materials Testing Reactor) fuel elements.
Original fuel enrichment > 93%.
' (iii) -Activity Shipment 1: 11,018.0 TBq (114,000 Ci) 49CFR173.403 Greater than 27,000 Ci or 3,000 x A (1,500 curies), so 2
highway route controlled quantity.
(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 fL from cask cover. This is measured at the time of shipment, j
and in our past shipments, has been < 0.5 millirem /hr.
Hence TI =.5 per 49CFR173.403.
(vi) Fissile material, 49CFR173.45(7Xb). This means by 49CFR173.457(bX1) controlled shipment that transport must be with exclusive use of shipper.
