RE: US DOT

["Tsurikov, Nick" <nick.tsurikov@ILUKA.COM>]

Dear Celia,



Some information you could find useful is located in the IAEA TECDOC-1194

(Rev.1) - "Arrangements for transition from the 1985 Edition (as amended

1990) to the 1996 Edition of the IAEA Transport Regulations", March 2001.

The document contains both convenient comparison tables and about 20 pages

of text.

One copy of the document could be obtained for free from the IAEA.  

There list of the latest IAEA Technical Documents (from January 1999) and

names of people whom to ask is at

http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/Books/TecDoc/

<http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/Books/TecDoc/>  .  I obtained several TECDOCs

from IAEA and there never was a problem or delay - even here, in Australian

bush, I am getting them within 10-12 days.



Kind regards

Nick Tsurikov

		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,
