RE: Transport of a Self-Contained Irradiator

["Grimm, Lawrence" <LGrimm@FACNET.UCLA.EDU>]

Wesley:



The DOT transportation requirements specifically require that the irradiator be contained in a 2R, or other specification, container that has been tested for the configuration/loading. It requires a certification. Unfortunately for you, Shepherd is probably the only one who has the container. Recently Shepherd got in trouble because they did not have valid certifications for some of their configurations and, from what I heard, it cost them dearly.  



I worked for Shepherd for a short period, and I have darn good DOT knowledge, so if you want further advice, contact me privately.

Try Edlow or TRISM (Tri-State Motors).  Both have Web pages.
