5. TRANSPORTATION
There are numerous regulations, Codes of Practice etc., covering transport. These are all based on the principles of the International Atomic Energy Agencys TS-R-1, Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials. To all intents and purpose, the standards laid down with regard of packing, labeling and consignment certificates are the same whether the goods are being transported by road, rail or air.

Inspection Corrosion Engineering services (ICES) will comply with the FANR regulations in addition to IAEA safety regulations Categories of Consignment a) Although there is, an exempt class of package for packages containing very low quantities of activity this class is most likely not to be met in the course of the Company business. In general, all packages containing radioactive substances must be marked as such. b) Routine white labels packages (this label carries one red stripe). These have a dose rate less that 5.0Sv/hr at the surface of the package. c) Routine yellow label packages:1) Category - I White Label Radiation Level on the surface of the package is less than 5 Sv/hr. 2) Category II Yellow Label: Radiation level on the surface 5 Sv/hr to 500 Sv/hr. Radiation level at 1 M from the surface of the package is less than 10 Sv/hr 3) Category III Yellow Label Radiation level on the surface 500 Sv/hr /hr to 2000 Sv/hr /hr. Radiation level at 1 M from the surface of the package is l00 Sv/hr. Most sealed sources for radioactivity sent will be packaged in the manner detailed in category II above.

General Awareness Emergency Preparedness

In case of an emergency, follow the emergency instructions that you were given in the Shippers information for Carriers. If you cannot follow the emergency instructions for any reason, or if you have any reason to believe the emergency may cause you or the public to be exposed to contamination or excessive radiation, notify the Authority immediately by calling 050-641-6533

Package Acceptance
a) Before accepting a package from a Carrier, you should first confirm that the appropriate shipping documents are present, that they contain the required information, and that they are consistent with the package(s) you are being asked to receive. These documents are the particulars of the consignment and the information for Carriers. In more detail: b) The particulars of consignment include information about the Shipper, the Receiver, the name, activity and form of the material being shipped, the UN number, the Category and the Transport Index. c) The information for Carriers gives direction for any actions that you as the Receiver must take, including requirements for unloading and any emergency arrangements. d) After you confirm that the documents are in order, you should be sure that you understand any unloading directions and that you can carry them out. e) Next, you should use a radiation survey meter to confirm the Transport Index. The Transport Index is the maximum radiation level in millisieverts/hour at 1 m from surface of the package, multiplied by 100. If the documents are not in order; Your unloading instructions from the Shipper are not clear or if you cannot carry them out;

or

Do not unload, otherwise touch, or move the package. Contact the Shipper for further directions. If you have any reason to believe that the package may cause you or the public to be exposed to contamination or excessive radiation, notify the Authority immediately at 02-651-6666 between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Sunday through Thursday, or 050-641-6533 outside these hours.
