Farhad and Radsafers:
We do not open dry ice packages during the NRC-required health physics survey
of labelled packages.  Our survey consists of a wipe of the package and a
measurement of external radiation levels.  Are you concerned about the effect
of the cold on packaging materials?

Our researchers are given specific training on opening packages, and they are
taught to survey for contamination on packaging and vial surfaces.
