[ RadSafe ] Regulatory Question

[Scott Davidson]

If the rad material is licensed by the NRC or an agreement state, then the
transfer of the material falls under 10 CFR 30.41(c) which requires that the
recipient is authorized to possess it

Limited quantity and excepted are DOT terms and apply to the package and
paperwork for shipping.

If the material is radioactive per DOT (see 49 CFR 173.436 or I can help)
and it qualifies as limited quantity, then the package is excepted and all
that is required on the package is the UN number  The inner package must be
marked "Radioactive".

If you are transporting it or have a part in its preparation for transport,
then you are required to be trained in Hazardous Material Transportation
under 49 CFR 172.
