Re: LSA vs A2 Requirements



If you package in a USA DOT 7A Type A container you do not have to ship exclusive use and the transport vehicle does not have to be placarded.

Here's one for all you folks knowledgeable about DOT regs.  Uniformly =
contaminated solid material may be classified as LSA II if  its specific =
activity does not exceed 10^-4 x A2 per gram.  My question relates to 49 =
CFR 173.427 (b)(2).  Which interpretation is correct:
1. Does this citation give an unlimited total curie content per package =
as long as the specific activity requirement is met?  OR
2. Does this citation's reference to a Type A package refer back to the =
definition of a "Type A package" that includes a curie content limit of =
A2?
Obviously, this interpretation has a deciding role on the size of =
package for LSA II material.
Thank you.
