Determination of activity limits

Determination of basic radionuclide values according to ADR, RID and ADN 2.2.7.2.2; IMDG Code 2.7.2.2 and ICAO TI 2;7.2.2

The following basic values for individual radionuclides are given in table of nuclides (ADR, RID, ADN Table 2.2.7.2.2.1; IMDG Code Table 2.7.2.2.1; ICAO TI Table 2-12):
1. A₁ and A₂ in TBq;
2. Activity concentration limits for exempt material in Bq/g; and
3. Activity limits for exempt consignments in Bq.

For individual radionuclides:

Which are not listed in Table of nuclides the determination of the basic radionuclide values referred to in 1) shall require multilateral approval. For these radionuclides, activity concentration limits for exempt material and activity limits for exempt consignments shall be calculated in accordance with the principles established in the Radiation Protection and Safety of Radiation Sources: International Basic Safety Standards IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR PART 3, IAEA, Vienna (2014). It is permissible to use an A₂ value calculated using a dose coefficient for the appropriate lung absorption type as recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection, if the chemical forms of each radionuclide under both normal and accident conditions of carriage are taken into consideration. Alternatively, the radionuclide values in Table below may be used without obtaining competent authority approval;
In instruments or articles in which the radioactive material is enclosed or is included as a component part of the instrument or other manufactured article and which meet 2.2.7.2.4.1.3 c), (ADR, RID, ADN; 2.7.2.4.1.3.3 IMDG Code and 2;7.2.4.1.1.3 c) ICAO TI) alternative basic radionuclide values to those in Table of nuclides for the activity limit for an exempt consignment are permitted and shall require multilateral approval. Such alternative activity limits for an exempt consignment shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set out in GSR Part 3.

Table - Basic radionuclide values for unknown radionuclides or mixtures

Radioactive contents	A₁	A₂	Activity concentration limit for exempt material	Activity limit for an exempt consignment
Radioactive contents	(TBq)	(TBq)	(Bq/g)	((Bq)
Only beta or gamma emitting nuclides are known to be present	0,1	0,02	1 * 10¹	1 * 10⁴
Alpha emitting nuclides but no neutron emitters are known to be present	0,2	9 * 10^-5	1 * 10^-1	1 * 10³
Neutron emitting nuclides are known to be present or no relevant data are available	0,001	9 * 10^-5	1 * 10^-1	1 * 10³

In the calculations of A₁ and A₂ for a radionuclide not in Table of nuclides, a single radioactive decay chain in which the radionuclides are present in their naturally occurring proportions, and in which no progeny nu-clide has a half-life either longer than 10 days or longer than that of the parent nuclide, shall be considered as a single radionuclide; and the activity to be taken into account and the A₁ or A₂ value to be applied shall be those corresponding to the parent nuclide of that chain. In the case of radioactive decay chains in which any progeny nuclide has a half-life either longer than 10 days or greater than that of the parent nuclide, the parent and such progeny nuclides shall be considered as mixtures of different nuclides.

For mixtures of radionuclides, the basic radionuclide values referred to in 1) may be determined as follows

$Xm = \frac{1}{\sum_{i}^{} \frac{f(i)}{X(i)}}$

where

f(i)	is the fraction of activity or activity concentration of radionuclide i in the mixture;
X(i)	is the appropriate value of A₁ or A₂, or the activity concentration limit for exempt material or the activity limit for an exempt consignment as appropriate for the radionuclide i; and
X_m	is the derived value of A₁ or A₂, or the activity concentration limit for exempt material or the activity limit for an exempt consignment in the case of a mixture.

When the identity of each radionuclide is known but the individual activities of some of the radionuclides are not known, the radionuclides may be grouped and the lowest radionuclide value, as appropriate, for the radionuclides in each group may be used in applying the formulas in 4) and 2.2.7.2.4.4 (ADR, RID, ADN; 2.7.2.4.4 IMDG-Code und 2;7.2.4.4 ICAO TI). Groups may be based on the total alpha activity and the total beta/gamma activity when these are known, using the lowest radionuclide values for the alpha emitters or beta/gamma emitters, respectively.
For individual radionuclides or for mixtures of radionuclides for which relevant data are not available, the values shown in Table above shall be used.

Determination of transport index (TI) according to ADR, RID, ADN and IMDG Code 5.1.5.3 and ICAO 5;1.2.3

The transport index (TI) for a package, overpack or container, or for unpackaged LSA-I, SCO-I or SCO-III, shall be the number derived in accordance with the following procedure:
1. Determine the maximum dose rate in units of millisieverts per hour (mSv/h) at a distance of 1 m from the external surfaces of the package, overpack, container, or unpackaged LSA-I, SCO-I or SCO-III. The value determined shall be multiplied by 100 and the resulting number is the transport index.
  
  For uranium and thorium ores and their concentrates, the maximum dose rate at any point 1 m from the external surface of the load may be taken as:
  
  0,4 mSv/h for ores and physical concentrates of uranium and thorium;
  
  0,3 mSv/h for chemical concentrates of thorium;
  
  0,02 mSv/h for chemical concentrates of uranium, other than uranium hexafluoride;
2. For tanks, containers and unpackaged LSA-I, SCO-I and SCO-III, the value determined in step (a) above shall be multiplied by the appropriate factor from Table 5.1.5.3.1 (ADR, RID, ADN, IMDG Code; Table 5-1 ICAO TI);
3. The value obtained in steps (a) and (b) above shall be rounded up to the first decimal place (e.g. 1.13 becomes 1.2), except that a value of 0.05 or less may be considered as zero and the resulting number is the transport index value.

2. The state of the packages shall be their assessed or demonstrated condition if they had been subjected to the tests for demonstrating ability to withstand normal conditions of carriage.
For accident conditions of carriage a number "N" shall be derived, such that two times "N" packages shall be subcritical for the arrangement and package conditions that provide the maximum neutron multiplication consistent with the following:
1. Hydrogenous moderation between packages, and the package arrangement reflected on all sides by at least 20 cm of water; and
2. The tests for demonstrating ability to withstand normal conditions of carriage followed by whichever of the following is the more limiting:
  1. the mechanical tests for demonstrating ability to withstand accident conditions in carriage sub-point (b) and, either the mechanical test of sub-point (c) for packages having a mass not greater than 500 kg and an overall density not greater than 1,000 kg/m³ based on the external dimensions, or mechanical test of sub-point (a) for all other packages; followed by the test specified in thermal test for demonstrating ability to withstand accident conditions and completed by the water leakage test for packages containing fissile material; or
  2. the water immersion test for demonstrating ability to withstand normal conditions of carriage; and
3. Where any part of the fissile material escapes from the containment system following the tests specified in 13) (b), it shall be assumed that fissile material escapes from each package in the array and all of the fissile material shall be arranged in the configuration and moderation that results in the maximum neutron multiplication with close reflection by at least 20 cm of water.
The criticality safety index (CSI) for packages containing fissile material shall be obtained by dividing the number 50 by the smaller of the two values of N derived in 12) and 13) (i.e. CSI = 50/N). The value of the criticality safety index may be zero, provided that an unlimited number of packages is subcritical (i.e. N is effectively equal to infinity in both cases).

Max. radiation level	10 mSv/h
General requirements	General requirements for packages with radioactive material according to ADR, RID, IMDG Code 6.4.2 and ICAO TI 6;7.1; ADN according Part 6 of ADR The package shall be so designed in relation to its mass, volume and shape that it can be easily and safely carried. In addition, the package shall be so designed that it can be properly secured in or on the vehicle during carriage. The design shall be such that any lifting attachments on the package will not fail when used in the intended manner and that, if failure of the attachments should occur, the ability of the package to meet other requirements of this Annex would not be impaired. The design shall take account of appropriate safety factors to cover snatch lifting. Attachments and any other features on the outer surface of the package which could be used to lift it shall be designed either to support its mass in accordance with the requirements of point 2 or shall be removable or otherwise rendered incapable of being used during carriage. As far as practicable, the package shall be so designed that the external surfaces are free from protruding features and can be easily decontaminated. As far as practicable, the outer layer of the package shall be so designed as to prevent the collection and the retention of water. Any features added to the package at the time of carriage which are not part of the package shall not reduce its safety. The package shall be capable of withstanding the effects of any acceleration, vibration or vibration resonance which may arise under routine conditions of carriage without any deterioration in the effectiveness of the closing devices on the various receptacles or in the integrity of the package as a whole. In particular, nuts, bolts and other securing devices shall be so designed as to prevent them from becoming loose or being released unintentionally, even after repeated use. The design of the package must take into account ageing mechanisms. The materials of the packaging and any components or structures shall be physically and chemically compatible with each other and with the radioactive contents.
