The U.S. DOT hazmat regulations (49 CFR, Parts 100–185) apply
any time a nuclear device is transported by motor vehicle on a
public highway or by other means of transport (rail, air, ship).
The major requirements for transporting a nuclear gauge in the
United States are listed below. For more detailed information
about these requirements, please refer to the Troxler
Transportation Guide.
A copy of the current IAEA Certificate of Competent Authority
for each source in the gauge (Special Form Certificate) must be
kept on file. Current versions are available on the Troxler website
at www.troxlerlabs.com.
♦ A copy of the results of the “TYPE A” package testing must
be on file.
♦ Hazmat employee training records must be kept on file.
♦ An “Emergency Response Information” document must be in
the vehicle and immediately accessible to the driver.
♦ A properly completed “Bill of Lading” must be in the vehicle
and immediately accessible to the driver. The shipping
papers must include a 24-hour emergency response
telephone number.
♦ If shipping by air, a “Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous
Goods” must accompany the air waybill.
♦ The package must be properly marked and labeled in
accordance with hazmat regulations.
♦ The package must have a tamper-evident seal.
♦ The package must be inspected prior to each shipment.
♦ The package must be securely blocked and braced in the
vehicle to prevent shifting during transport.
