NOTES:
1. For 76 cm cylinders, the maximum permitted H/U atomic ratio is 0.088.
2. Model 30A inner cylinder (reference: ORO-651).
3. Model 30B inner cylinder (reference: ORO-651).
A11.9. Authorized Packaging-Pyrophoric Radioactive Materials. Package pyrophoric radioactive materials in
quantities not over A2 per package in DOT Type A packagings constructed of materials that do not react nor be
decomposed by the contents. Contents must be:
-
In solid form and must not be fissile unless excepted by A3.3.7.9.
-
Contained in sealed and corrosion resistant receptacles with positive closures (friction or slip-fit covers or
stoppers are not authorized).
-
Free of water and any contaminants that increase the reactivity of the material.
-
Made inert to prevent self-ignition during transport by either:
-
Mixing with large volumes of inerting materials such as graphite or dry sand, or other suitable inerting
material, or blended into a matrix of hardened concrete.
-
Filling the innermost receptacle with an appropriate inert gas or liquid.
A11.10. Authorized Packaging-Oxidizing Radioactive Materials. Package certain oxidizing radioactive
materials, which are not fissile materials and not in quantities over A2, in DOT Type A packaging. The
requirements apply to the contents and packaging:
-
Pack in suitable inside packagings of glass, metal, or compatible plastic.
-
Suitably cushion with a material which will not react with the contents.
-
Inner packaging and cushioning must be enclosed within an outside packaging of wood, metal, or plastic.
-
The package must be capable of meeting the applicable test requirements of 49 CFR 173.465 without
leakage of contents.
-
The maximum quantity in any package must not be over 11.3 kg (25 pounds).
