Re: Contamination Levels and NRC Guidance  -  You may want to look at 
NRC Information Notice 85-46:   Clarification of Several Aspects of 
Removable Radioactive Surface Contamination Limits For Transport 
Packages.   I haven't seen the new NUREG-1608 but have heard that 
there may be some problems that have delayed it's issue.

Thanks,

The NRC and DOT have published a draft report as NUREG-1608/RSPA Advisory 
Guidance 97-005, "Categorizing and Transporting Low Specific Activity 
Materials and Surface Contaminated Objects".  To the best of my knowledge, 
this has never been issued in final form. 
 
The opinions expressed are strictly mine. 
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
