26 AFMAN 24-204(I)/TM 38-250/NAVSUP PUB 505/MCO P4030.19H/ DLAI 4145.3 11 DECEMBER 2001 - A material with a saturated vapor concentration in air at 20 degrees C (68 degrees F) of more than one-fifth of the LC50 acute toxicity on inhalation of vapors and with an LC50 for acute toxicity on inhalation of vapors of not more than 5000 mL/m3 (5000 parts per million (PPM)). - An irritating material, with properties similar to tear gas which causes extreme irritation, especially in confined spaces. Inner Packaging--Packaging for which an outer packaging is required for transport. It does not include the inner receptacle of a composite packaging. Inner Receptacle--Receptacle which requires an outer packaging in order to perform its containment function. The inner receptacle may be an inner packaging of a combination packaging or the inner receptacle of a composite packaging. Jerrican--A metal or plastic packaging of rectangular or polygonal cross-section. Kit--A set of materials or articles used for a specific purpose, shipped as a single item and assigned a single National Stock Number or Part Number by the Service/Agency Item Manager. A kit may include one or more different hazardous materials. Hazardous components may or may not be compatible but may be transported together as a kit. Limited Quantity of Radioactive Materials--A quantity of radioactive material which is not over the limits specified in A11.15 and conforms to the requirements specified in A11.11. Liquefied Compressed Gas--A gas, which under charged pressure, is partially liquid at a temperature of 20 degrees C (68 degrees F). Low Specific Activity (LSA) Material: - Uranium or thorium ores and physical or chemical concentrates of those ores. - Unirradiated natural or depleted uranium or unirradiated natural thorium. - Tritium oxide in aqueous solutions provided the concentration is not over 5.0 millicuries (mCi) per milliliter (mL). - Material in which the radioactivity is essentially uniformly distributed and where the estimated average concentration of contents is: - Not over 0.0001 millicurie per gram (mCi/g) of radionuclides for which the A₂ quantity is not more than 0.05 Ci. - Not over 0.005 mCi/g of radionuclides for which the A₂quantity is more than 0.05 Ci but not more than 1 Ci. - Not over 0.3 mCi/g of radionuclides for which the A₂ quantity is more than 1 Ci. - Objects of nonradioactive material externally contaminated with radioactive material, provided that the radioactive material is not readily dispersible. The surface contamination, when averaged over an area of 1 square meter, must not exceed 0.0001 mCi (220,000 disintegrations per minute) per square centimeter of radionuclides for which the A₂ quantity is not more than 0.05 Ci or 0.001 mCi (2,200,000 disintegrations per minute) per cm² for other radionuclides. These items must be suitably wrapped or enclosed. Magnetic Material--Any packaged material that has a magnetic field strength of 0.002 gauss or more measured at 2.1 m (7 ft) from any surface of the package. Natural Thorium--Thorium with the naturally occurring distribution of thorium isotopes (essentially 100 weight percent thorium²³²). Natural Uranium--Uranium with the naturally occurring distribution of uranium isotopes (approximately 0.711 weight percent uranium²³², and the remainder essentially uranium²³⁸).
