If the source changer is to be packaged in a crate or other l
outer packaging, the outer packaging must be strong enough to withstand the normal conditions of transport.
These I
requirements are outlined in 10 CFR 71.71.
The source changer should be put in the outer package with sufficient blocking to prevent shifting during transportation.
4.
Survey the package with a survey meter at the surface and a distance of one meter from the surface to determine the proper radioactive shipping labels to be applied to the package as required by 49 CFR Part 172.403.
The radiation exposure limits for each shipping label are.given.in figure-1.1.
If radiation levels above 200 mR/hr at the surface or 10 mR/hr at one meter from the surface are measured, the package must not be shipped.
5.
Properly complete two shipping labels indicating the radioisotope, activity and the Transport Index.
The transport Index is used only on Yellow II and Yellow III labels and is defined as the maximum radiation level in milliroentgen per hour measured at a distance of one meter from the surface of the package.
Put these two labels on opposite sides of the package after making sure any previous labels have been removed.
The package should be marked with the proper shipping name (Radioactive Material, Special Form, n.o.s.) and the identification number (UN2974).

This notice must include the name of the consignor or consignee and the following statement:
"This package conforms to the conditions and limitations specified in 49 CFR 173.424 for expected radioactive material, articles manufactured from depleted uranium, UN 2909.
'8.-
For shipment of an empty source changer, assure that there is no source in the container.
If the radiation level is below 0.5 mR/hr at the surface, and there is no measurable radiation level at one meter from the container, no label is required.
Mark the outside of the package with the proper shipping name (Radioactive material, articles manufactured from depleted uranium UN 2909).
Mark the outside of the package:
" Exempt from specification packaging, shipping paper and certification, marking and labeling and exempt from the requirements of Part 175 per 49 CFR 173.421-1 and 49 CFR 173.424."

. Recheck position of the source locking ball to ascertain that the ball is directly under.the lock plunger and that the source cannot move in either direction, and then-disconnect the control cable from the source pigtail.
- 10. At this point, screw the swivel protector cap into the old source lockbox to protect the pigtail and further contain it.
- 11. Move the camera to NEW SOURCE end of the C-8 changer.
- 12. Remove the protector cap from the lockbox marked NEW SOURCE.
- 13. Connect the control drive cable to the new source and screw the source exchange tube into the lockbox.~
- 14. Unlock the new source lock.
- 15. Stand away as far as possible and draw the new source into the camera until it comes to the safe position.
- 16. Survey the camera and lock the new source in the camera.
- 17. Disconnect the control cable from the source and camera.
~
- 18. Remove the source exchange tube from the camera and C-8 source changer.
- 19. Screw the safety plug into the lockbox marked NEW SOURCE and lock.
- 20. Survey the source changer to be sure that the surface radiation does not exceed 200mR/hr, or 10mR/hr at one meter from the surface.
Lock each end compartment with the pad locks.
Return the Source Changer to Amersham Corporation as quickly as possible.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS:
Shipment of Radioactive Source 1.
Assure that the source assembly is secured in the proper storage position and the source changer is locked.
Assure that the brass plugs are seal wired with tamper proof seals.
2.
Prior to shipment the following steps must be carried out.
a.
Assure the package is authorized for the radioactive contents. (see table 1.)
b.
Assure the package is in good physical condition.
c.
Assure all shipping plugs are securely in place.

If the source changer is to be packaged in a crate or other I
outer packaging, the outer packaging must be strong enough to i
withstand the normal conditions of transport.
These j
requirements are outlined in 10 CFR 71.71.
The source changer should be put in the outer package with sufficient blocking to prevent shifting during transportation.
4.
Survey the package with a survey meter at the surface and a distance of one meter from the surface to determine the proper radioactive shipping labels to be applied to the package as required by 49 CFR Part 172.403.
The radiatic,n exposure limits for each shipping label are given in figure-1.1.
If radiation levels above 200 mR/hr at the surface or 10 mR/hr at one meter from the surface are measured, the package must not be shipped.

The transport Index is used only on Yellow II and Yellow III labels and is defined as the maximum radiation level in milliroentgen per hour measured at a distance of one meter from the surface of the package.
Put these two labels on opposite sides of the package after making sure any previous labels have been removed.
The package should be marked with the proper shipping name (Radioactive Material, Special Form, n.o.s.) and the identification number (UN2974).
