be adequately ventilated to remove gases that may have collected.

c. Upon receipt and before unloading of radioactive materials from a car, vehicle, or aircraft at a receiving

installation, the package(s), under the supervision of the installation health physicist or radiation protection officer, will be

carefully monitored for excessive external radiation or contamination. If excessive radiation is present, the car, vehicle,

or aircraft will be isolated and appropriate measures taken to ensure minimum exposure of personnel engaged in

unloading operations.

d. All vehicles (military and commercial) and aircraft that have transported radioactive materials will be carefully

monitored, under the supervision of the installation health physicist or radiation protection officer, for radioactive

contamination immediately after the radioactive items are unloaded. The vehicle or aircraft must be decontaminated

before release if the contamination exceeds the levels given in paragraph 3-9. A certificate to this effect will be issued

by the ITO to the common carrier or for the vehicle or aircraft operation. If contamination is greater than the above

limits, vehicles or aircraft and terminal equipment and personnel used in transshipment will be checked, as far back as

necessary, to determine the extent of property and personnel contamination. Detection of such contamination levels

indicates an accident has occurred and will be reported as described in paragraph 6-14 and chapter 7.

NOTE

Vehicles and cars that are used solely for the transport of radioactive materials are exempt from the

above-stated requirements provided the requirements in paragraph 3-4 are met.

e. Damaged or contaminated shipments will under no circumstances be rejected by the carrier. Steps must be taken

to minimize exposure of personnel and contamination of property.

f. Upon receipt of a shipment at the receiving installation, the radiation protection officer will record the condition of

the shipment and dose rate levels of radiation.

g. Placards and car certificates, if applicable, must be removed when the car is unloaded.

h. The receiving agency will unload heavy cask(s) of radioactive materials when it has the necessary hoisting

equipment. If the agency has no such equipment, it will arrange with an appropriate support element for hoisting

equipment. It will furnish the support element with the weight and size of cask(s)
