Difference types of packages used to transport radioactive goods!
Although dangerous goods had been divided into 9 different classes and each particular class of radioactive goods requires a particular specification for transportation. However, when we talk about radioactive goods then all the radioactive goods can’t be transported to a single package. If you are the one who needs to transport radioactive goods then it is really very important to consider the security and safety. Several kinds of packages are used to transport several kinds of radioactive goods.
The basic requirement which all the dangerous goods packaging services provider should complete transferring radioactive goods is that the package containing the radioactive goods should be designed in a way that while the transportation of the material, the radioactive material should not be contaminated and remains shielded so that it should not come in exposure of the other things.
Different types of packages used for the transport of radioactive goods
Type A packages
Type A packages have been used for transportation of the moderate activity of radioactive elements. However, Type A packages have been further divided into two packages A1 and A2. Several hospital sources such as nuclear medicine sources, nucleonic gauge sources had been transported in type A packages.
Type B(U)/B(M) packages
Type B(U)/B(M) packages are used to transport the radioactive materials of large activity. Gama irradiators, teletherapy sources, and some other large activity radioactive material have been transported into these packages.
Type C packages
These packages have been used to transport high radioactive goods which have been designed to withstand severe conditions such as harsh weather of accident conditions. These packages can withstand almost all the conditions so that the material remains safe.
