Hi,
We ship natural Uranium on a daily basis through US
mail, UPS and FedEx. It has taken a long time to finally understand the rules
and now they are changing. Thought I'd ask
directly about the shipping of natural Uranium, both domestically and
internationally and how these new rules will effect us.
It is my understanding that material must be above
70Bq/g to be classed as radioactive. Anything below does not need labeling or
special packaging and is not classed as radioactive. Correct?
1. How will the new regulations effect the domestic
shipment of natural Uranium. I have heard that the 70Bq/g limit will be
lowered to 10Bq/g (which would require almost anything we ship to be
labeled) and I have also heard that Uranium will be exempt from the regulations.
2. Is there, or will there be, a total activity
limit for a package containing natural Uranium?
3.When a substance is below the 70Bq/g limit (not
classed as radioactive) can it be shipped to countries which prohibit
importing of radioactive material?
I'm sure there will be many more questions and I
thank you in advance for your assistance.
