RE: RADSAFE digest 1886



I wish to confirm a couple of comments which appeared in RADSAFE on May   
26, with respect to which Section is really meant by the (incorrect)   
reference to 173.451 in 49 CFR 173.427(a)(3).

Since 173.451 (until March 1, 1996) stated that "Except as provided in   
173.453, each package containing fissile radioactive materials must   
comply with 173.451 through 173.459," and 173.451 and 173.455 have since   
been removed, the reference to 173.451 in 173.427(a)(3) should be   
replaced by a reference to 173.453, 173.457, and 173.459.  I.e., if the   
LSA/SCO you plan to ship is also fissile, remember to satisfy any   
pertinent requirements for shipping fissile material.

The section 173.427 (a)(3) refers to section 173.451. There is no section
listed in the 49 CFR.
What is the correct section referenced here?
