SAMPLE TRANSPORTATION INSTRUCTIONS

3Place the transport package in the vehicle. Properly brace and secure the package against movement in the vehicle. [49CFR177.842(d)]

4Survey the driver's compartment to assure that the radiation level does not exceed 0.02 mSv/hr (2 mRem/hr). [49CFR177.842(g)] Note: This requirement is mandatory only for exclusive use shipments by a common carrier. [49CFR173.441(b)(4)]

5If the vehicle is transporting a package bearing a Radioactive Yellow III label, the vehicle must be placarded on all four sides with a Radioactive placard.

Note: Operation of a vehicle which is required to be placarded requires compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations of 49CFR Parts 390-397 and the Driver Training requirements of 49CFR177.827; 49CFR177.804.

6Complete the Radioactive Material Transport Checklist (see attached example). Forward a completed copy to the Radiation Safety Officer upon completion of the carriage.

7If the vehicle becomes disabled on the road, do not leave the vehicle unguarded when going for help. A message for help may be sent by a passing motorist or the police may be enlisted to guard the vehicle.

8Should any kind of accident occur, make an immediate radiation survey to determine if any radiation levels are unusually high. If unusual radiation levels exist, establish the boundary of the restricted area. Keep all persons out of this area and get police assistance, if possible. Notify the Radiation Safety Officer as soon as possible, but do not leave the scene without assuring that the police or some other responsible party will keep people out of the area.

9Collect information pertinent to the accident, such as names of witnesses, names of people involved, and names of police, license numbers and circumstances of the accident. Call the Radiation Safety Officer promptly and give him as much information as possible.

10If a source should escape from the packaging, the vehicle operator should make no attempt to restore the source by himself. He should wait for assistance from the Radiation Safety Officer.

11If the vehicle is going to be used for storage of radioactive material at a temporary job site:

a.The vehicle's storage access entrance must be posted with ‘Caution Radioactive Material’ signs.

b.The vehicle must be secured/locked so that there is no unauthorized access.

c.Radiation levels must be below 20 µSv/hr (2 mR/hr) outside the vehicle to meet unrestricted area requirements.

d.Vehicle must meet new security requirements where applicable.

12In the event of a transport emergency or accident involving this package, follow the guidance contained in “2004 Emergency Response Guidebook: A Guidebook for First Responders During the Initial Phase of a Dangerous Goods/Hazardous Materials Incident”, or equivalent guidance documentation.
