US DOT



Apparently on june 21, 2001 RSPA of the US DOT published a final rule to 

harmonize the domestic haz mat regs with UN recommendations and the 

international regs. i printed this final rule(Docket#RSPA-2000-7702)(M215D) 

to search for any changes in packaging, labeling and shipping of rad 

material. I found no specifics but the document references IAEA safety 

standard TS-R-1 safety series #6. Before i print out another large document 

and read it can anyone tell me if there is a brief summary of changes 

regarding rad shipping and where it can be found. i received a letter from 

a manufacturing stating some changes and wanted to verify them. One of the 

statements was-Rad Material, Excepted Package-Lim. Quantity is now required 

to have labeling on the outside of the box.



Thanks in advance,
