Nonfixed (removable) radioactive contamination is not significant if it is notover the limits specified in A3.3.7.11.Nonliquefied Compressed Gas--A gas, other than gas in solution, which under charged pressure is entirely gaseousat a temperature of 20 degrees C (68 degrees F).Normal Form Radioactive Material--Radioactive material that has not been demonstrated to qualify as "specialform radioactive material."Oral Toxicity--Liquid with a lethal dose where 50 percent of the test subjects die (LD50) from acute oral toxicity ofnot more than 500 mg/kg or a solid with an LD50 for acute oral toxicity of not more than 200 mg/kg.ORM-D--For the purposes of this manual, ORM-D material, are only those materials with flammable properties(liquids, solids, and gases) that present a limited hazard during transportation due to their form, quantity, andpackaging. Each ORM-D material is listed in table A4.1. ORM-D classification is only authorized for domesticshipments. International shipments must not be transported under the classification "ORM-D."Outage or Ullage--The amount a packaging falls short of being liquid full, usually expressed in percent by volume.Outer Packaging--The outermost enclosure of a composite or combination packaging together with any absorbentmaterials, cushioning, and any other components necessary to contain and protect the inner receptacles or innerpackagings.Overpack--1) A container used to hold one or more air eligible packages to form a single unit for convenience ofhandling or storage during transportation. 2) Placement of containers that do not meet air eligibility pressurerequirements into an outer approved UN packaging.Package--For radioactive materials, the packaging together with its radioactive contents as presented for transport.Package or Outside Package--The packaging plus its contents.Packaging--A receptacle and any other components or materials necessary for the receptacle to perform itscontainment function in conformance with the minimum packing requirements of this manual. For radioactivematerials, the assembly of components necessary to ensure compliance with the packaging requirements of thismanual. It may consist of one or more receptacles, absorbent materials, spacing structures, thermal insulation,radiation shielding, and devices for cooling or absorbing mechanical shocks. The conveyance, tie down system, andauxiliary equipment may sometimes be designated as part of the packaging.Packers--Personnel who package hazardous materials, but do not sign legally binding documents.Packing Group--The degree of danger presented by the hazardous material.-Packing Group I indicates great danger.-Packing Group II indicates medium danger.-Packing Group III indicates minor danger.
