DHS 157.03(397)(397)“Type A quantity” means a quantity of radioactive material, the aggregate radioactivity of which does not exceed A1 for special form radioactive material or A2 for normal form radioactive material, where A1 and A2 are given in ch. DHS 157 Appendix O or may be determined by procedures described in ch. DHS 157 Appendix O.
DHS 157.03(398)(398)“Type B package” means a packaging that, together with its radioactive contents, is designed to retain the integrity of containment and shielding required by 49 CFR 173 when subjected to the normal conditions of transport and hypothetical accident test conditions set forth in 10 CFR 71.
DHS 157.03 NoteNote: A Type B package design is designated as B(U) or B(M). B(U) refers to the need for unilateral approval of international shipments; B(M) refers to the need for multilateral approval. No distinction is made in how packages with these designations may be used in domestic transportation. To determine their distinction for international transportation, refer to 49 CFR Part 173. A Type B package approved prior to September 6, 1983 was designated only as Type B.
DHS 157.03(399)(399)“Type B quantity” means a quantity of radioactive material greater than a type A quantity.
