>You may have an instrument or article with a sealed source in it that may
be shipped under UN2911, but a sealed source (or calibration standard) by
itself is not an instrument or article.
How is a sealed source (or calibration standard) different from an
electronic tube provided as an example in the 49CFR173.403 definition? An
electron tube by itself is not an instrument, it is an article. A sealed
source falls under the category of "... or similar instrument or article
having Class 7 (radioactive) material in
gaseous or non-dispersible solid form as a component part."
Again, it is assumed that Mr. McCarn might ship the source from within or
to the DOT jurisdiction of the US - 49CFR might not apply to his potential
source shipment.
