Re: transfer of RAM

[William V Lipton <liptonw@dteenergy.com>]

Although the 49 CFR 173.4 gets you out of the training requirements, it seems to
be limited to those situations involving multiple hazards, eg., a limited
quantity rad shipment where the material is reactive or flammable.  This
exception also involves package testing requirements, and a weight limit of 1
ounce.

As I stated, before, he needs a qualified shipper.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
