THE TRANSPORT OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL WITH SUBSIDIARY RISKS

Sending of Samples 1. No radioactive material of class 7 If activity concentration or activity do not exceed 1 x 104 Bq/g or 1 x 107 Bq (2.2.7.7.2.1 IMDG-Code/ADR/RID or 10.4.A IATA-DGR columns 3 or 4), the conditions for exempt material or exempt consignment are given. Dependent on flashpoint and toxic properties the material has to be classified for instance as a flammable liquid of class 3, toxic. 2. Material of Class 7, Limited Quantities, Excepted Packages For a liquid, no special form, C-14 activities up to A ≤ 10-4 A2 = 3 x 10-4 TBq (2.2.7.7.1.2.1 IMDG-Code/ADR/RID or 10.5.9 IATA-DGR) are the condition for a radioactive material in limited quantities. Following special regulation 290 of 3.3 IMDG or 10.5.9.3 IATA-DGR the other hazard takes precedence. Description in Shipper’s Declaration for Defined Material or Sample (to define toxic properties) would be: Case 1: Flammable liquid, toxic, n.o.s. (technical name/sample), 3 (6.1), UN 1992, I Case 2: Flammable liquid, toxic, n.o.s. (technical name/sample), Radioactive material, excepted package, limited quantity of material, 3 (6.1), UN 1992, I
