The QA Program will emphasize control of the characteristics of the transportation package which are critical to safety.
3.
Document Control (10 CFR { 71.113) 239 uBe neutron sources will be All documents related to each shipment of P
controlled. The University Health Physicist (Radiation Safety Officer) shall assure that all QA functions are performed in accordance with the LANL manual.
4.
Handling, Storage, and Shipping Control (10 CFR 71.127)
