Transport Index

[HALEEM MAHMOUD SAID <mshaleem@kfupm.edu.sa>]

Hello everyone:

As I recall from inspecting the radioactive (incoming) to the campus while
I was working years back, the transport index was recorded as the actual
number of exposure at distance of one meter from the pacakage.  However,
someone was saying otherwise where the transport index is reported as a
whole number with no fraction.  would any one please comment on this from
actual experience, and what are the units.  

Any help in answering those questions is appreciated.
