More Transportation "Stuff"



     A recent post stated that it is a violation of DOT regs to carry 
     small, exempt "check type" sources in personal cars or passenger 
     airplanes. An NRC HP Position Statement (HPPOS-241 which can be 
     accessed at ftp://ftp.fedworld.gov/pub/nrc-hpos/hppos241.txt) states 
     in part: "...DOT regulations allow the practice of carrying small 
     check or calibration sources or other small quantities of radioactive 
     materials onto passenger carrying aircraft." Also: "Limited quantities 
     of radioactive materials or exempted instruments or articles may be 
     transported in carry-on or checked baggage on a passenger aircraft."
