Phạm vi áp dụng / Scope of standard

This standard presents: (1) a method where by compliance with
packaging requirements may be obtained and documented; (2) guidance
to be followed in the event of incidents that threaten package
integrity: and (3) a plan for receivers to verify the integrity of
delivered packages. It is not intended that this standard should be
used as a detailed procedure. Rather, techniques that have been
successfully used and proved in practice are described
illustrations of acceptable methodology.

Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to set
forth administrative guides and procedures which, if followed, will
help to assure that radioactive materials shipments meet the
applicable regulations and that personnel are protected from
exposure to radiation during transport and unpack aging of such
shipments.

Rules published by regulatory agencies to assure safety in the
transportation of radioactive materials have yielded the degree of
protection expected of them.¹ However, unless systematic
procedures are developed and followed explicitly, an oversight may
lead to improper packaging and, consequently, to a contamination or
radiation-exposure incident. In addition, the possibility of
accidents that might alter package integrity requires procedures to
protect packagers, transporters, receivers, and the public.

The complexity of current shipping regulations applied to the
transport of radioactive material necessities a method that
minimizes the change of human error. A checklist approach,
successfully demonstrated in practice, is detailed in this
standard. The use of the basic elements of this standard will
promote more effective control as well as compliance with
regulations.
