Re: Transfer of Radioactive Material to another institution

[Glenn Roberts <glenn@u1st.com>]

The same regulations and exemptions apply to personal autos as
commercial carriers.  If it's properly packaged, labeled, manifested,
etc., there are no other specific restriction on personal autos.  

By the way, 10 uCi of P-32 liquid could be classified as a limited
quantity.  (See 49 CFR 173.421).  If there's any further doubt, I would
suggest first reading 172, Subpart H.  Careful, Subpart H will also
apply to your friendly professor.

Good Luck

Glenn Roberts
