[ RadSafe ] RQ

[Roy Parker]

Syd,

RQ is applicable to Am-241 10 mCi or greater.  RQ on the shipping paper (declaration) must be before the UN number.  (The alternative which is not preferred is after the Class 7 or packing group if applicable.)  RQ is independent of special form or normal form.

I am a bit confused by the RQ requirement on packages.  Am I reading the 
regs right that anything containing  over 10 mCi of Am-241 needs the RQ 
after the UN3332 marking?  Does this apply to special form sealed sources?

TIA
