New DOT reg. changes

[Al Castell <castella@ohsu.edu>]

I hope someone can help me figure out the requirements under the new DOT 
regs to ship limited quantities of radioactive material domestically. 

Researchers ship small quantities (microcurie amounts in microliter 
volumes) of S-35, H-3, C-14, I-125, or P-32 to other researchers across the 
country. The standard shipping container is a box that originally 
contained radioactive material.

I'm familiar with the changes in the A1 & A2 values. Where I get hazy is 
what kind of container is now required (strong tight out the 
window?), documentation, proper shipping name, UN number etc. 

Any help tp lift the veil will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
