Subject: FW: Sending Radioactive Material to the Netherlands


We have a researcher wanting to send 5 uCi of C-14 to the Netherlands.  I
plan to send it as an excepted package using Emmery World Wide as the
carrier.  Fedex said they do not deliver radioactive material in the
Netherlands.  My question is: are there any licensing or regulatory
requirments outside of the shipping regs. that I should know about?  In the
US this would be an exempt qty. as per the NRC or agreement state.  Is that
the same in the Netherlands?  I got a copy of what is supposed to be a
radioactive materials license but it is written in Dutch and the translator
told me it doesn't appear to be a license.

Thanks for your help
