What is the maximum radiation level allowed for Radioactive 2 packaging at the container?

The maximum radiation level allowed for Radioactive 2 packaging at the container is 50 mRem/hour. This guideline is established by regulatory authorities to ensure the safe transport of radioactive materials while minimizing the exposure risk to individuals who might be handling or near the packaging.

Radioactive 2 packaging is categorized for materials that have greater levels of radioactivity than Radioactive 1, but still represent a relatively low risk. The limit of 50 mRem/hour at the surface of the container is designed to balance the need for safety with the operational requirements of handling these materials in both transport and storage.

This standard helps ensure that, while these materials can be transported and used, individuals are not exposed to harmful levels of radiation, aligning with safety protocols and public health guidelines.
