The gauge instruction manual will include a radiation profile
drawing showing dose rate measurements on the surface and
at one meter. The Model MC-3 Elite fits the RADIOACTIVE
YELLOW-II category.
RADIOACTIVE YELLOW-II labels must be placed on two opposite
surfaces. The source type, source activity, and Transport Index
entered should agree with the manufacturer’s published data.
Fig 6.2 Yellow II Label
The Transport Index is an indicator to the vehicle operator the
degree of control required. It is actually the maximum dose
rate in mRem/hr. at one meter from the package. Since it is
intended to be used by non-technical personnel, it is expressed
as a dimensionless number rounded up to the nearest 1/10th.
For multiple package shipments the driver limits the vehicle total
TI to 50. Package(s) with a TI of 1.0 or less should not be closer
to passengers than one foot. The TI for MC-3 Elite is 0.4.
