Requirements and controls for carriage of LSA material and SCO

The quantity of LSA material or SCO in a single Type IP-1 package , Type IP-2 package, Type IP-3
package , or object or collection of objects, whichever is appropriate, shall be so restricted that the
external radiation level at 3 m from the unshielded material or object or collection of objects does not
exceed 10 mSv/h.

For LSA material and SCO which are or contain fissile material, which is not excepted under
2.2.7.2.3.5, the applicable requirements of 7.5.11, CV33 (4.1) and (4.2) shall be met.

For LSA material and SCO which are or contain fissile material, the applicable requirements of
6.4.11.1 shall be met.

LSA material and SCO in groups LSA-I and SCO-I may be carried unpackaged under the following
conditions:
(a) All unpackaged material other than ores containing only naturally occurring radionuclides shall
be carried in such a manner that under routine conditions of carriage there will be no escape of
the radioactive contents from the vehicle nor will there be any loss of shielding;
(b) Each vehicle shall be under exclusive use, except when only carrying SCO-I on which the
contamination on the accessible and the inaccessible surfaces is not greater than ten times the
corresponding level according to the definition of "contamination" in 2.2.7.1.2;
(c) For SCO-I where it is suspected that non-fixed contamination exists on inaccessible surfaces in
excess of the values specified in 2.2.7.2.3.2 (a)(i), measures shall be taken to ensure that the
radioactive material is not released into the vehicle;
(d) Unpackaged fissile material shall meet the requirements of 2.2.7.2.3.5 (e).

LSA material and SCO, except as otherwise specified in 4.1.9.2.4, shall be packaged in accordance
with the table below:
