- RDW 5.8 MINOR Revision 4 08-31-84 SHIPMENT SCHEDULING AND SHIPPING PAPER PREPARATION FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL SHIPMENTS (49 CFR 172 PART C) 1.0- GENERAL Radioactive material shipping is subjer.t to many State and Federal regulations. Shipping papers are among the items examined for accuracy by carriers, radwaste contractors, and government inspectors. Improperly prepared shipping papers can result in fines, and if violations are repetitive, even exclusion from burial facilities.
Therefore, it is important to be accurate and complete when preparing the shipping papers.
2.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this procedure is to enable a person to accurately and completely prepare shipping papers for radioactive material shipments.
Additionally, this procedure will enable a person to make required telephone notifications and make proper file entries for documentation of I the shipment. ,

3.0 SHIPMENTS OF LOW LEVEL WASTE TO CHEM-NUCLEAR, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA 5.1 Scheduling Barnwell Shipments l
Scheduling shipments to the Chem-Nuclear disposal site in Barnwell, South Carolina, normally must be done between one and three months before'the date of shipment. Scheduling date deadlines are set by Chem-Nuclear and can be obtained from the Nuclear Plant Specialist or engineer assigned to radwaste.
Two things are done to schedule the shipment. First, obtain a volume allocation plan (VAP) number from Chem-Nuclear. Second, arrange for a carrier to transport the load to Barnwell, South Carolina.
5.1.1 Obtain the volume allocation plant number from Chem-Nuclear allocations section. The telephone contact number is 803/259-3577.
