RE: Question about shipping

[Bruce Bugg <BRUCEB@psc.state.ga.us>]

Well, first of all, there is a question of semantics here: You are the
"shipper" (or "offeror"), while Bob & Sons are the "carrier." I think you
will find the DOT regulations speak to this in 49 CFR Section 177.843, i.e.,
dose rate 0.005 mSv/hr or less and contamination which does not exceed 49
CFR 173.443 (which has a table that does not e-mail well). I don't know what
other regs (e.g. state rad agency or NRC) might apply.

RADSAFERS

I need your help to settle a disagreement......

Lets say I have use Bob & Sons Transport to ship radioactive materials for
me during the work week. We don't ship on the weekends, but Bob needs to
continue earning. On Saturday and Sunday, Bob wants to be able to transport
cattle and watermelons.

What is the extent of the survey that I must perform for Bob & Sons
Transport on Friday afternoon?

Please include specific regulatory references, if available.

Thanks,

Mike Winters
