Pu in Soil

[Jim Graham <jgram@lamar.colostate.edu>]

I am in the process of shipping some soil contaminated with Pu-239. What
is the concentration limit in soil that determines how it has to be
shipped? I have determined that it does not need to be shipped as a
fissile material, that the activity is above the limited quantity and
below the A2 value.
