Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Glassine envelope, polyacrylic plastic Petri dish, or polyethylene plastic bag
|
---|
Holding Time: |
Maximum 6 months
(Cs-137 half life = 30.17 years)
|
---|
Sample Preservative: |
No preservation required
|
---|
Packaging Requirements: |
Wipe outside of each container clean using a damp, then dry cloth. Seal the container with non-reactive tape or film. Determine the radiation-specific activity of the sample(s) and pack samples outside the contaminated area. Samples must be packed in a manner that protects the integrity of the containers. Samples should be surrounded by shock absorbing and liquid absorbent packing materials (49 CFR 173.24 and 173.453). Check the radiation-specific activity from the packaged samples (49 CFR 173.403).
|
---|
Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Packaging Requirements: |
Wipe outside of each container clean using a damp, then dry cloth. Seal the container with non-reactive tape or film. Determine the radiation-specific activity of the sample(s) and pack samples outside the contaminated area. Samples must be packed in a manner that protects the integrity of the containers. Samples should be surrounded by shock absorbing and liquid absorbent packing materials (49 CFR 173.24 and 173.453). Check the radiation-specific activity from the packaged samples (49 CFR 173.403).

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.

Preserve sample with HNO3 or HCl to pH < 2
If dissolved components are to be determined, samples requiring preservation must be filtered prior to preservation.
|
---|
Packaging Requirements: |
Wipe outside of each container clean using a damp, then dry cloth. Seal the container with non-reactive tape or film. Determine the radiation-specific activity of the sample(s) and pack samples outside the contaminated area. Samples must be packed in a manner that protects the integrity of the containers. Samples should be surrounded by shock absorbing and liquid absorbent packing materials (49 CFR 173.24 and 173.453). Check the radiation-specific activity from the packaged samples (49 CFR 173.403).
|
---|
Shipping Label: |
Shipping labels per requirements of 49 CFR 173. Determine the radiation levels on the surface and at 1 meter from the surface of the package, and label. Although the package required for transporting radioactive material is based on the activity INSIDE the package, the label required on the transport package is based on the radiation hazard OUTSIDE the package. Radioactive material is the only hazardous material that has three possible labels, depending on the relative radiation levels external to the package. Labels for radioactive material also require a Transportation Index (TI) number which indicates the highest radiation level measured at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The three possible labels are commonly called White 1, Yellow 2, and Yellow 3, referring to the color of the label and the number prominently displayed. The specific label required (White 1, Yellow 2, or Yellow 3) is based on the limits specified in 49 CFR 172.403.
