Transportation of Wipes for Removable Contamination

[Pamela Hubley <Pamela_Hubley@millipore.com>]

Hello Radsafers,

 I am in need of some assistance from someone who is familiar with DOT 
regulations for transportation of radioactive materials.

 I would like to be able to collect some wipes for removable contamination at 
one location, and transport them to another location to be analyzed for the 
presence of  beta and gamma emmitters.  The location in which the wipes would 
be collected is a lab where H-3, C-14, S-35, P-32, I-125, and I-129 were 
handled in small quantities in the past.  The lab has not been used for over 
one year.

 While I do not expect there to be significant removable contamination on the 
wipes I collect, I cannot quantitate that activity without transporting the 
wipes to another location for analysis.  Any guidance which you can provide on 
proper packaging and labeling of  this material (for transport in my car if 
that's allowable) would be appreciated.

 PLEASE RESPOND TO ME DIRECTLY, NOT TO THE ENTIRE RADSAFE LIST.

 Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
