--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------RQ Reportable Quantity Notes
Not all Reportable Quantities (RQ) have been listed in this table, only those RQ values for which
there are corresponding A1 and A2 values have been listed. For a complete listing of RQ value see
49 CFR 172.101, Appendix A, Table 2.
The RQs for all radionuclides apply to chemical compounds containing the radionuclides and
elemental forms regardless of the diameter of pieces of solid material.
The RQ of one curie applies to all radionuclides not otherwise listed. Whenever the RQs in 49 CFR
172.101, Appendix A, TABLE 1--HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OTHER THAN RADIONUCLIDES and this table
conflict, the lowest RQ shall apply. For example, uranyl acetate and uranyl nitrate have RQs
shown in TABLE 1 of 100 pounds, equivalent to about one-tenth the RQ level for uranium-238 in
this table.
** The method to determine the RQs for mixtures or solutions of radionuclides can be found in
paragraph 7 of the note preceding 49 CFR 172.101 Appendix A, TABLE 1. RQs for the following four
common radionuclide mixtures are provided: radium-226 in secular equilibrium with its daughters
(0.053 curie); natural uranium (0.1 curie); natural uranium in secular equilibrium with its
daughters (0.052 curie); and natural thorium in secular equilibrium with its daughters (0.011
curie).
*** Indicates that the name was added by RSPA because it appears in the list of radionuclides in
49 CFR 173.435. The reportable quantity (RQ), if not specifically listed elsewhere in 49 CFR
172.101 Appendix A, shall be determined in accordance with the procedures in paragraph 7 of 49
CFR 172.101 Appendix A.

Therefore,
the
A2
quantity is applicable and the A2 quantity for I-125 is 81 Ci.
b. The material quantity limit is 10-4 A2 where A2 = 81 Ci is
8.11 mCi therefore 3 mCi of I-125 may be shipped as a limited
quantity of radioactive material.
c. The package must meet the general packaging requirements.
d. The inner package must be marked "Radioactive"
e. The maximum radiation level on the surface of the package must
not exceed 0.5 mrem/hr.
f. The

1 where A1 = 54 Ci is 540
mCi, therefore 100 mCi of Cs-137 as special form sealed source
may be shipped as an instrument in an excepted package provided
the maximum radiation level at 4 inches from the instrument does
not exceed 10 millirem per hour.
b. Since the package limit for this item is A1 = 54 Ci then a
maximum of 540 such instruments may be placed in the excepted
package provided the conditions below are met.
c. The package must meet the general packaging requirements.
d. Each instrument is marked "Radioactive"
e. The maximum radiation level on the surface of the package must

Section 6
Type A Packaging Requirements
Type A Packaging
49 CFR 173.415(a) reads:
(a) DOT Specification 7A (Sec. 178.350 of this subchapter) Type A
general packaging. Each offeror of a Specification 7A package must
maintain on file for at least one year after the latest shipment, and
shall provide to DOT on request, complete documentation of tests and an
engineering
evaluation
or
comparative
data
showing
that
the
construction methods, packaging design, and materials of construction
comply with that specification. Use of Specification 7A packagings
designed in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 178.350 of this
subchapter in effect on June 30, 1983 (see 49 CFR Part 178 revised as
of October 1, 1982), is not authorized after April 1, 1997.
A foreign-made Type A packaging is governed by 49 CFR 173.415(d):
(d) Any foreign-made packaging that meets the standards in IAEA
``Safety Series No. 6'' and bears the marking ``Type A'' and was used
for the import of Class 7 (radioactive) materials. Such packagings may
be subsequently used for domestic and export shipments of Class 7
(radioactive) materials provided the offeror obtains the applicable
documentation of tests and engineering evaluations and maintains the
documentation on file in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section.
These packagings must conform with requirements of the country of
origin (as indicated by the packaging marking) and the IAEA regulations
applicable to Type A packagings.
Complete documentation is understood contain all of the following and each item
should be address even if it is not applicable:
1. 49 CFR 173.410 General design requirements.
In addition to the requirements of subparts A and B of this part,
each package used for the shipment of Class 7 (radioactive) materials
must be designed so that-(a) The package can be easily handled and properly secured in or on
a conveyance during transport.
(b) Each lifting attachment that is a structural part of the
package must be designed with a minimum safety factor of three against
yielding when used to lift the package in the intended manner, and it
must be designed so that failure of any lifting attachment under
excessive load would not impair the ability of the package to meet
other requirements of this subpart. Any other structural part of the

(f) The package will be capable of withstanding the effects of any
acceleration, vibration or vibration resonance that may arise under
normal conditions of transport without any deterioration in the
effectiveness of the closing devices on the various receptacles or in
the integrity of the package as a whole and without loosening or
unintentionally releasing the nuts, bolts, or other securing devices
even after repeated use (see Secs. 173.24, 173.24a, and 173.24b).
(g) The materials of construction of the packaging and any
components or structure will be physically and chemically compatible
with each other and with the package contents. The behavior of the
packaging and the package contents under irradiation will be taken into
account.
(h) All valves through which the package contents could escape will
be protected against unauthorized operation;
(i) For transport by air-(1) The temperature of the accessible surfaces of the package will
not exceed 50 deg.C (122 deg.F) at an ambient temperature of 38 deg.C
(100 deg.F) with no account taken for insulation;
(2) The integrity of containment will not be impaired if the
package is exposed to ambient temperatures ranging from -40 deg.C (-40
deg.F) to +55 deg.C (131 deg.F); and
(3) Packages containing liquid contents will be capable of
withstanding, without leakage, an internal pressure that produces a
pressure differential of not less than 95 kPa (13.8 lb/sq. in.).
2. 49 CFR 173.412 Additional design requirements for Type A packages.
In addition to meeting the general design requirements prescribed
in Sec. 173.410, each Type A packaging must be designed so that-(a) The outside of the packaging incorporates a feature, such as a
seal, that is not readily breakable, and that, while intact, is
evidence that the package has not been opened. In the case of packages
shipped in closed transport vehicles in exclusive use, the cargo
compartment, instead of the individual packages, may be sealed.
(b) The smallest external dimension of the package is not less than
10 centimeters (4 inches).
(c) Containment and shielding is maintained during transportation
and storage in a temperature range of -40 deg.C (-40 deg.F) to 70 deg.C
(158 deg.F). Special attention shall be given to liquid contents and to
the potential degradation of the packaging materials within the
temperature range.
(d) The packaging must include a containment system securely closed
by a positive fastening device that cannot be opened unintentionally or
by pressure that may arise within the package during normal transport.
Special form Class 7 (radioactive) material, as demonstrated in
accordance with Sec. 173.469, may be considered as a component of the
containment system. If the containment system forms a separate unit of
the package, it must be securely closed by a positive fastening device
that is independent of any other part of the package.
(e) For each component of the containment system account is taken,
where applicable, of radiolytic decomposition of materials and the
generation of gas by chemical reaction and radiolysis.
(f) The containment system will retain its radioactive contents
under the reduction of ambient pressure to 25 kPa (3.6 pounds per
square inch).
(g) Each valve, other than a pressure relief device, is provided
with an enclosure to retain any leakage.
(h) Any radiation shield that encloses a component of the packaging
specified as part of the containment system will prevent the
unintentional escape of that component from the shield.
(i) Failure of any tie-down attachment that is a structural part of
the packaging, under both normal and accident conditions, must not

impair the ability of the package to meet other requirements of this
subpart.
(j) When evaluated against the performance requirements of this
section and the tests specified in Sec. 173.465 or using any of the
methods authorized by Sec. 173.461(a), the packaging will prevent-(1) Loss or dispersal of the radioactive contents; and
(2) A significant increase in the radiation levels recorded or
calculated at the external surfaces for the condition before the test.
(k) Each packaging designed for liquids will-(1) Be designed to provide for ullage to accommodate variations in
temperature of the contents, dynamic effects and filling dynamics;
(2) Meet the conditions prescribed in paragraph (j) of this section
when subjected to the tests specified in Sec. 173.466 or evaluated
against these tests by any of the methods authorized by Sec.
173.461(a); and
(3) Either-(i) Have sufficient suitable absorbent material to absorb twice the
volume of the liquid contents. The absorbent material must be
compatible with the package contents and suitably positioned to contact
the liquid in the event of leakage; or
(ii) Have a containment system composed of primary inner and
secondary outer containment components designed to assure retention of
the liquid contents within the secondary outer component in the event
that the primary inner component leaks.
(l) Each package designed for gases, other than tritium not
exceeding 40 TBq (1000Ci) or noble gases not exceeding the A2 value
appropriate for the noble gas, will be able to prevent loss or
dispersal of contents when the package is subjected to the tests
prescribed in Sec. 173.466 or evaluated against these tests by any of
the methods authorized by Sec. 173.461(a).
3. 49 CFR 173.465 Type A packaging tests.
(a) The packaging, with contents, must be capable of withstanding
the water spray, free drop, stacking and penetration tests prescribed
in this section. One prototype may be used for all tests if the
requirements of paragraph (b) of this section are met.
(b) Water spray test. The water spray test must precede each test
or test sequence prescribed in this section. The water spray test must
simulate exposure to rainfall of approximately 5 centimeters (2 inches)
per hour for at least one hour. The time interval between the end of
the water spray test and the beginning of the next test must be such
that the water has soaked in to the maximum extent without appreciable
drying of the exterior of the specimen. In the absence of evidence to
the contrary, this interval may be assumed to be two hours if the water
spray is applied from four different directions simultaneously.
However, no time interval may elapse if the water spray is applied from
each of the four directions consecutively.
(c) Free drop test. The specimen must drop onto the target so as to
suffer maximum damage to the safety features being tested, and:
(1) The height of the drop measured from the lowest point of the
specimen to the upper surface of the target may not be less than the
distance specified in Table 12, for the applicable package mass. The
target must be as specified in Sec. 173.465(c)(5). Table 12 is as
follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------(2) For packages containing fissile material, the free drop test
specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section must be preceded by a
free drop from a height of 0.3 meter (1 foot) on each corner, or in the
case of cylindrical packages, onto each of the quarters of each rim.
(3) For fiberboard or wood rectangular packages with a mass of 50
kilograms (110 pounds) or less, a separate specimen must be subjected
to a free drop onto each corner from a height of 0.3 meter (1 foot).
(4) For cylindrical fiberboard packages with a mass of 100
kilograms (220 pounds) or less, a separate specimen must be subjected
to a free drop onto each of the quarters of each rim from a height of
0.3 meter (1 foot).
(5) The target for the free drop test must be a flat, horizontal
surface of such mass and rigidity that any increase in its resistance
to displacement or deformation upon impact by the specimen would not
significantly increase the damage to the specimen.
(d) Stacking test. (1) The specimen must be subjected for a period
of at least 24 hours to a compressive load equivalent to the greater of
the following:
(i) Five times the mass of the actual package; or
(ii) The equivalent of 13 kilopascals (1.9 pounds per square inch)
multiplied by the vertically projected area of the package.
(2) The compressive load must be applied uniformly to two opposite
sides of the specimen, one of which must be the base on which the
package would normally rest.
(e) Penetration test. For the penetration test, the specimen must
be placed on a rigid, flat, horizontal surface that will not move
significantly while the test is being performed.
(1) A bar of 3.2 centimeters (1.25 inches) in diameter with a
hemispherical end and a mass of 6 kilograms (13.2 pounds) must be
dropped and directed to fall with its longitudinal axis vertical, onto
the center of the weakest part of the specimen, so that, if it
penetrates far enough, it will hit the containment system. The bar may
not be significantly deformed by the test; and
(2) The height of the drop of the bar measured from its lower end
to the intended point of impact on the upper surface of the specimen
must be 1 meter (3.3 feet) or greater.
4. 49 CFR 173.466 Additional tests for Type A packagings designed for liquids and
gases.
(a) In addition to the tests prescribed in Sec. 173.465, Type A
packagings designed for liquids and gases must be capable of
withstanding the following tests:
(1) Free drop test. The packaging specimen must drop onto the
target so as to suffer the maximum damage to its containment. The
height of the drop measured from the lowest part of the packaging
specimen to the upper surface of the target must be 9 meters (30 feet)
or greater. The target must be as specified in Sec. 173.465(c)(5).
(2) Penetration test. The specimen must be subjected to the test
specified in Sec. 173.465(e) except that the height of the drop must be
1.7 meters (5.5 feet).
