c.
Additional
information
is
required
as
appropriate depending on the mode of transportation
used. Do not forget to include the following shipping
certification on the shipping papers:
This is to certify that the above named materials
are properly classified, described, packaged, marked
and labeled and are in proper condition for transportation
according
to
the
applicable
regulations
of
the
Department of Transportation.
d.
The
orange
tester
case
meets
the
requirements of specification 7A for type A packaging.
Type A packaging is required for the tester since the
radionuclides are in special form and the amount of
activity of the two radioactive sources is below the
maximum permitted for type A packaging (Al). However,
to protect from damage during shipment, the tester and
case should be placed in a wooden crate. The outside of
the crate must be labelled and marked in accordance
with Title 10 CFR Parts 172.310, 172.403 and 438. A
complete DD Form 1348-1 (DOD Sirtgle Line Item
Release/Receipt Document) should accompany the
shipment to the manufacturer.
e. The Transport Index (TI) must be marked on
the Dot Radiation label on the tester package, and on the
shipping paper. The TI is a number expressing the
maximum
radiation
level
in
millirem
per
5-3
