RE: International shipping question

Regardless of origin, it should be interpreted by you as "mrem/h".  

But to answer your question, according to Section E-428.3 of IAEA Safety
Series No. 7 (dated 1990 and probably superseded), when defined for the
SI system, TI is the "radiation level at a distance of one meter from
the surface of a package expressed in mSv/h multiplied by 100."

Hi group,

I am wondering if anyone out there could tell me what the units for the
transport index would be for a radioactive material shipment
(U-235/U-238)
coming from France.  Let me know privately, unless you feel that others
would benefit from this information.  Thanks!

Lorna
