The caller reported low level alpha radiation activity on an empty shipping container and roll-off box that exceeds DOT standards. The container arrived at their facility the morning of 8/21/2015 from a Utah (NRC Agreement State) regulated facility near Blanding. It was the belief of the caller that it is very unlikely there was any dosage to humans or the environment.</br>The container was shipped from Blanding, Utah to Douglas, Wyoming through Grand Junction.

The DOT alpha contamination limits found in 49 CFR 173.443(a) are for removable (non-fixed) contamination. The incident was reported on an incoming survey results for direct alpha measurements and not on removable alpha measurements. The removable alpha measurements from the same incoming survey were below the DOT alpha contamination limits.
