TRANSPORTATION OF LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE INTO SOUTH CAROLINA

Shipments of low-level radioactive waste into the Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc. site near Barnwell, S.C., were surveyed to determine the origin of such wastes, types and condition of packages or containers, and compliance with existing regulations. Type A shipping casks were given special attention during the survey. Area monitors (TLD) were used around transportation terminals.
