QUALIFICATIONS OF AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR TRANSPORTING SPECIAL FORM RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

A special form radioactive material is a radioactive material that is in an inert, insoluble, indispersible form such that even in the event of an accident, it will not be dispersed into the environment in a way that could have an adverse impact on public health and safety. Methods of qualifying a special form radioactive material are discussed. Interpretation of acceptance criteria are proposed for the transportation of Type B quantities of a special form radioactive material.
