(3) For an overpack, the transport index (TI) must be determined by adding together the transport indices of the Class 7 (radioactive) materials packages contained therein, except that for a rigid overpack, the transport index (TI) may alternatively be determined by direct measurement as prescribed in § 173.403 of this subchapter under the definition for “transport index,” taken by the person initially offering the packages contained within the overpack for shipment. courses on the safe transport of radioactive material. Enclosed with the training manual is a CD-ROM that contains the text of the manual as well as the visual aids that are used at the IAEA’s training courses. The visual aids are presented in modules that are keyed to the chapters of the training manual. The transport index TI of a radioactive material? Top Answer. Wiki User July 29, 2010 4:18PM. Transport Index is the highest radiation level at one meter from the surface of the package.

The transport index is the maximum radiation level in microsieverts per hour at one metre from the external surface of the package, divided by 10. Example: 1 µSv/  The transport index (TI) for a package, overpack or container, or for unpackaged LSA-I or SCO-I, Excepted packages of radioactive material of Class 7 shall be legibly and durably marked on the Calculation of unlisted A1 and A2 values. These rules depend on the Transportation Index. Measure the maximum radiation level of the package in millisieverts per hour at one meter from its surface. IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material. – Changes in The transport index is obtained by calculation, as explained in the Regulations. The radiation level at a point 1 metre from the package also needs to be measured in mSv and this value is used to calculate the Transport Index by multiplying 

The transport index TI of a radioactive material? Top Answer. Wiki User July 29, 2010 4:18PM. Transport Index is the highest radiation level at one meter from the surface of the package.

• transport of radioactive material that is an integral part of the means of transport • transport of approved consumer products by a consumer • transport of natural material and ores not destined for processing that are less than 10 times the values specified for exempt materials in Table 1 below (3) For an overpack, the transport index (TI) must be determined by adding together the transport indices of the Class 7 (radioactive) materials packages contained therein, except that for a rigid overpack, the transport index (TI) may alternatively be determined by direct measurement as prescribed in § 173.403 of this subchapter under the definition for “transport index,” taken by the person initially offering the packages contained within the overpack for shipment. courses on the safe transport of radioactive material.

Transport Index is the highest radiation level at one meter from the surface of the package. However, if the vehicle is being used exclusively for the transport of radioactive material, the TI allowances are increased. These are only a few of the rules and regulations that use the transportation index as a factor. Always consult with the Department of Transportation to make sure you’re fully compliant. According to 10 CFR 71.4 [Title 10 – Energy; Chapter I -- Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Part 71 -- Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material; Subpart A -- General Provisions], the term Transport index (TI) means “the dimensionless number (rounded up to the next tenth) placed on the label of a package, to designate the degree of control to be exercised by the carrier during with survey instruments, or from indirect information, such as radioactive material package transport index values (describing radiation levels at 1 meter from a package’s exterior surface). The radiation level data can then be used with the inverse square law to calculate the DDE. In Table 4, check to indicate use of

Sep 8, 2009 There are many regulations that govern the transport of radioactive material. can measure on survey meter with pancake probe if efficiencies are The limit of the total sum of the transport indexes is 50 for vehicles and 

The transport index is the number determined by multiplying the maximum radiation level in millisievert (mSv) per hour at 1 meter (3.3 ft) from the external surface of the package by 100 (equivalent to the maximum radiation level in millirem per hour at 1 meter (3.3 ft)). Also, labels for radioactive material are the only ones which require the shipper to write some information on the label. The information is a number called the Transport Index (TI), which, in reality, is the highest radiation level at 1 meter from the surface of the package. The transport index TI of a radioactive material? Top Answer. Wiki User July 29, 2010 4:18PM. Transport Index is the highest radiation level at one meter from the surface of the package. The transport index is the number determined by multiplying the maximum radiation level in millisievert (mSv) per hour at 1 meter (3.3 ft) from the external surface of the package by 100 (equivalent to the maximum radiation level in millirem per hour at 1 meter (3.3 ft)). The Transport Index (TI) is a number which is used to provide control over radiation exposure when a package is being transported. This helps to alert individuals in the transport chain of the hazard posed. Not all types of package require a TI, because radiation levels around some types of package are low. • transport of radioactive material that is an integral part of the means of transport • transport of approved consumer products by a consumer • transport of natural material and ores not destined for processing that are less than 10 times the values specified for exempt materials in Table 1 below

Dec 2, 2001 Packaging of Radioactive Materials for Transport A package which exceeds 2 mSv/hour (200 mrem/hour) or a transport index of 10 must.

Nov 18, 2008 My question is about the calculation of a transport index (TI) used in package labeling of radioactive materials in transport. I would like to know  The issues associated with the transportation of radioactive material are very the Transport Index (TI), which, in reality, is the highest radiation level at 1 meter  Nov 26, 2019 Transport of hazardous materials including radioactive material in the Transport index is located in the black bordered rectangular box just It is located at the bottom corner of the placard and must measure at least 41 mm. For example, a package with a transport index of 0.8 and a maximum surface radiation level of 0.6 millisievert (60 millirems) per hour must bear a RADIOACTIVE  TRANSPORT INDEX CALCULATION. UN 3332 RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, TYPE A PACKAGE, SPECIAL FORM. Am-241/ Be, 1 Type A Package x 592 GBq. Nov 6, 2015 DETERMINATION OF TRANSPORT INDEX (a) Determine the maximum radiation level in units of millisieverts per hour (mSv/h) at a distance 

(2) of this decree [(Table 1 or 2), or be derived by calculation for material containing mixtures of Contamination, Radiation Level, and Transport Index Limits.

Transport Index: 0.8 means at 1 meter from the surface of the labeled package, the radiation dose rate should be no more than 0.8 mrem/hr (0.008 mSv/hr). If a higher level is measured, the package may have been breeched. The transport index is determined by multiplying the maximum radiation level in millisieverts (mSv) per hour at 1 m (3.3 ft) from the external surface of the package by 100 (equivalent to the maximum radiation level in millirem per hour at 1 m (3.3 ft))."
