Sigma projetor manual Maximum Radiation

SAMPLE TRANSPORTATION INSTRUCTIONS

6If the shipping package is to be packaged inside a crate or other outer packaging, the outer packaging must be strong enough to withstand the normal conditions of transport and must not reduce the safety of the package. The shipping package must be placed within the outer package with sufficient blocking to prevent shifting during transportation. [49CFR173.25]

7Survey the entire exterior surfaces of the package and assure that the maximum radiation level does not exceed 2 mSv/hr (200 mRem/hr). Survey 1 m from all sides of the exterior surfaces of the package and assure that the maximum radiation level does not exceed 0.1 mSv/hr (10 mRem/hr). Determine the proper shipping labels to be applied to the package using the criteria of Table 1. [49CFR172.403]

Note: If shipping the container inside an overpack or convenience box in the back of a vehicle, survey and label both the inner 880 package and the overpack. Placarding the vehicle is dependent on the category of label applied to the overpack if used. [49CFR173.448]

Table 1

	Maximum Radiation	Maximum Radiation
	Level at Surface	Level at 1 Meter
Radioactive
White I	0.5 mRem/hr	None
	(0.005 mSv/hr)
Radioactive
Yellow II
	50 mRem/hr	1.0 mRem/hr
	(0.5 mSv/hr)	(0.01 mSv/hr)
Radioactive
Yellow III
	200 mRem/hr	10 mRem/hr
	(2 mSv/hr)	(0.1 mSv/hr)

For a package, both the transport index (TI) and the surface radiation level conditions shall be taken into account in determining which is the appropriate category of radioactive material label. Where the TI satisfies the condition for one category but the surface radiation level satisfies the condition for a different category, the package shall be assigned to the higher category of the two. For this purpose, category White-I shall be regarded as the lowest category.
