     This  is  not  a  factor  since  both  IAEA  Safety  Series 6  1985
     (Amd 1990) and  IAEA Safety  Standard Series  ST-1 1996  both state
     that mailable activity is 0.1 of the limited quantity value.
 
     No countries  have yet  adopted IAEA  Safety Standard  Series  ST-1
     1996.     ICAO  and  IATA  will  incorporate  ST-1  in  their  2001
     regulations, and  most countries are planning to adopt ST-1 also in
     2001.

Please be aware that although the USA generally follows IAEA Safety Series 6
1985, as amended 1990, many other countries follow ST-1, issued by the IAEA
in 1996 (or early 1997). Additionally, the US Postal Service follows even
more strict rules, found in Postal Publication 6. I would be happy to share
poor quality (but readable) photocopies with you. My copy is dated 1990. I
have asked the Post Office several times if this was the latest copy, but
never got an answer. I also asked for a new copy, but I think it was lost in
the mail......
 
If anyone out there has a "clean" copy, or knows where I can get one, please
let me know!
