Operations Manual
MAN-038 March 2019
Page 83 of 100
All conditions of the Type B(U)-96 Certificate of Compliance are met [10CFR71.87]. Maintain
copies of the current Type B(U)-96 package and special form certifications on file.
d.
Assure that the source is secured in the proper shielded position in the shipping package as
described in Section 2 of this operations manual. Perform a pre-shipment inspection as described in
Section 5 under the “Transport Package” requirements and verify the package is assembled as
described in the Type B(U) certification.
e.
Attach a security seal to the package. The SENTINEL SENTRY 110 and SENTINEL SENTRY 330
devices incorporate a seal wire attached to the locked protective cover over the front plate outlet port
which, if broken during transport, serves as a tamper indicator. [49CFR173.412(a)]
f.
If the shipping package is to be packaged inside a crate or other outer packaging, the outer
packaging must be strong enough to withstand the normal conditions of transport and must not
reduce the safety of the package. The shipping package must be placed within the outer package
with sufficient blocking to prevent shifting during transportation. [49CFR173.25]
g.
Survey the entire exterior surfaces of the package and assure that the maximum radiation level does
not exceed 2 mSv/hr (200 mRem/hr). Survey 1 m from all sides of the exterior surfaces of the
package and assure that the maximum radiation level does not exceed 0.1 mSv/hr (10 mRem/hr).
Determine the proper shipping labels to be applied to the package using the criteria of Table 1.
[49CFR172.403]
Note: If shipping the container inside an overpack or convenience box in the back of a vehicle,
survey and label both the inner SENTRY package and the overpack. Placarding the vehicle
is dependent on the category of label applied to the overpack if used. [49CFR173.448]
