Although the Model 4590 gauge is exempt from radioactive
material licensing requirements, it is still subject to the U.S. DOT
HAZMAT regulations. Since the Model 4590 contains a small
quantity of radioactive material in the form of a sealed source, it
must be prepared for shipment in accordance with applicable
rules and regulations governing hazardous materials.
These include:
♦
IATA’s
Dangerous Goods Regulations
♦
U.S. DOT’s Hazardous Material Regulations (49 CFR Parts
100 to 185)
The U.S. DOT regulations require every hazmat employer to
train, test, certify, and maintain records for each hazmat
employee. Hazmat training applies to anyone who transports or
prepares for transport radioactive materials. Refresher training
is required every three years.
Because the amounts of radioactivity and the radiation levels
are very low, the Model 4590 meets the criteria for transport as
an
excepted package
under all of the above regulations.
Excepted packages must meet the following requirements.
Packaging
The Model 4590 must be transported in a package (transport
case) that meets general packaging requirements and must be
capable of withstanding the conditions likely to be encountered
during routine transport without any deterioration in the
integrity of the package as a whole. No special design, testing, or
certification of the package is required. The transport case
provided with the gauge meets this requirement.
