U.S. SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS
The regulations in 49 CFR “TRANSPORTATION” (U.S. DOT)
apply any time a nuclear device is transported by motor vehicle on a
public highway, regardless of the carrier. The device cannot be
transported in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. It must be
properly secured in the cargo area of a vehicle to prevent movement
of the device during transportation and to prevent theft. Always
contact the common carrier, licensing agency, U.S. DOT, or Troxler
for shipping assistance. International customers outside the
jurisdiction of the United States must consult their government or
licensing authority for applicable regulations. The following are
needed to transport the 4640-B gauge in the United States:
♦ A copy of the “IAEA Certificate of Competent Authority” for
each source in the gauge (Special Form Source Certificate) must
be on file.
♦ A copy of the results of the “TYPE A” package testing must be
on file.
♦ Hazmat training verification must be on file.
♦ An “Emergency Response Information” document must be in
the vehicle and immediately accessible to the driver.
♦ A properly completed “Bill of Lading” (Figure D–1 and Figure
D–2) must be in the vehicle and immediately accessible to the
driver.
♦ The package must be locked or otherwise sealed.
♦ The package must be inspected (QC) prior to each shipment.
If shipping by air inside the U.S., a “Shipper's Declaration for
Dangerous Goods” (Figure D–3) must accompany the shipping
documents.
