F18 transport

["Kenneth Douglass" <KDOUGLAS@WVUHSC1.HSC.WVU.EDU>]

Radsafers:

Our institution is interested in shipping F18 (cyclotron produced positron emitter)
 out of state. It would be picked up by the purchaser at our facility 
and transported in their vehicle. The maximum activity would be about 
1 Curie.

What are the regulatory requirements for this? I assume a shielded 
package with Transport Index labeling. Is there any other precaution 
or requirement to be aware of??

Is this covered by anyone besides the DOT?

Thanks for your help as always,

Ken
