Abstract
Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, parts 100 -180, are the main regulations impacting the shipping of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) in DOT 21 PF-1 overpacks. Intermittently, the regulations must be reviewed and revised to correct errors and to reflect changes which have occurred. A number of issues have been identified which the Department of Transportation, Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) should consider in updating the regulations.
