Re: shipping natural thorium

["Alan R. Marchand" <radarm@accessnv.com>]

The yellow II label was used probably because of the
readings in the outside of the package.
This material can be shipped "Radioactive Material, Excepted
Package-Limited Quantity of Material" if the readings on all sides,
including the bottom of the package, does not exceed 0.5 mr/hr
contact.
