RE: Waste Drum Sampling

Jim, in addition to A. Wendell Carriker, at DOT in Washington, you may want 
to check with Gary L. Robertson, Head of the Waste Management Section  for 
the Division of Radiation Protection, Department of Health.  His e-mail 
address is (glr0303@hub.doh.wa.gov).

It's an interesting question, and I'd like to know the answer myself.

To assure no free-standing liquids are contained in "dry" waste shipped to 
LLW
disposal, the State of Washington (Information Notice 95-1, July 31, 1995) 
has
recommended the drilling of a small hole to be sealed by a self-tapping 
screw,
rubber washer, and silicone or RTV.  My question is, does this significantly
affect the performance of the shipping container and place us in violation 
of
transportation regulations?

My own thoughts and questions...
