13 Transportation
13.1 Management Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of local management to ensure that these requirements are met. The
location preparing the radioactive materials for movement shall ensure the following:
The proper identification is used;
The correct packaging is used;
The package is properly marked and labeled;
The proper shipping papers are completed and accompany the materials;
Schlumberger vehicles transporting radioactive materials are properly placarded at all
times and contract or common carrier vehicles are properly placarded when they depart
with our radioactive materials;
The driver of an OFS vehicle is qualified to transport the material; and
That radioactive material carried by a common carrier is received at the destination
facility.
13.2 Definitions of Shipping and Transport
For simplification within this manual, a source is considered
shipped
when it is released to a
common carrier (an outside company or individual). A source is considered
transported
when it
is moved by a Schlumberger vehicle and is under the control of a Schlumberger employee. The
term
movement
or
to move
is used in this manual to mean both
shipping
and
transport
.
The two types of common carriers referred to within this manual are as follows:
Shared use
. A company (e.g., Roadway, FedEx, contract carrier for a client, etc.) that
carries Schlumberger shipments along with other customers' shipments. They are
referred to as
common
carriers throughout this manual.
Exclusive use
. A company (e.g., Hotshot) that carries Schlumberger shipments
exclusively; no other company's shipments will be on board. Some shipping rules are
specific to these carriers. They are referred to as
exclusive use contract
carriers within
this manual.
If no distinction is made in this manual, then the rules described for common carriers apply to
both common and contract carriers.
These definitions are valid only within this manual. These are not legal definitions. Their only
purpose is to simplify discussion of the regulations as they apply to Schlumberger.

13.3 General Transportation Requirements
13.3.1 International Regulations
OFS locations shall move radioactive materials in accordance with applicable international
standards and those of the local governing authorities.
The United Nations (U.N.) through a committee composed of representatives from all nations,
publishes requirements for the movement of hazardous materials, including radioactive materials.
These requirements are updated every other year and are used as the basis for the following:
Dangerous Goods Regulations by the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
the IATA regulation applies throughout the world to the movement of radioactive
materials by air.
International Marine Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG) The IMDG code apply
throughout the world for the movement of radioactive materials by sea.
Transport regulations for each country these will vary from country to country and
generally cover the movement of radioactive materials on land and may cover the
movement of radioactive materials by vessel on inland lakes and seas and on coastal
waters of the country. If local regulations exist, they are likely to be based on the U.N.
requirements. OFS locations must follow the local regulations for the movement of
radioactive materials on land.
These three items are referred to in this manual collectively as regulations. These regulations
establish the following basic requirements for hazardous materials movement:
identification of the material being shipped
packaging
marking and labeling
shipping papers
placarding
OFS locations can find detailed information for each of these items in Volumes III (D&M), IV
(REW), and V (WCP and WS) for each source.
13.3.2 Identification
For all hazardous materials, there is a collection of information that will be referred to in this
manual as the identification. The identification for hazardous materials always includes the
following parts:
proper shipping name
classification
UN number
packing group

other information as required (e.g., exemption number and/or reportable quantity, RQ)
for radioactive materials
The combination of the radioactive material and the package or shield will be referred to as the
radioactive materials package in this manual.
13.3.2.1 Proper Shipping Name
Only those proper shipping names established in the regulations may be used. Proper shipping
names are printed or written in uppercase letters to make them compliant with all parts of the
regulations. A proper shipping name, selected from one or more applicable proper shipping
names, will be used for each radioactive materials package. As an example, either of the
following proper shipping names may be used with special form material:
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, TYPE A PACKAGE, SPECIAL FORM
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, TYPE A PACKAGE
Below are the Proper Shipping Names and UN numbers that are used for OFS radioactive
materials:

13.3.2.2 Classification
The classification for all radioactive materials packages is Class 7.
13.3.2.3 United Nations Number
Like proper shipping names, the United Nations (UN) numbers are established in the regulations,
and only those established may be used. UN numbers are required to allow for easy identification
of the hazard for an item by emergency response personnel around the world. For each proper
shipping name there is only one UN number (e.g., Radioactive Material, Type A Package, Special
Form, UN3332).

13.3.2.4 Packing Group
The packing groups used for other hazardous materials are not used for radioactive materials.
Instead, special package types are used.
13.3.2.5 Other Information Required
Other information is required in the identification of a radioactive material. These additional
items are the nuclide, activity, the transport index and whether the activity of the material is large
enough to be a reportable quantity (RQ).
13.3.2.5.1 Nuclide and Activity
The proper shipping names for radioactive material do not normally include information on the
nuclide or activity of the material. For this reason, the nuclide and activity (in becquerels) are
required as part of the identification and shall be included on each radioactive material label.
13.3.2.5.2 Transport Index
The regulations require the addition of the transport index to each Yellow II and Yellow III
radioactive material label to help control the radiation level resulting from accumulations of
multiple numbers of packages during movement.
The transport index (T.I.) is defined as:
The maximum dose rate in millirem per hour at one meter from the package expressed as
a number without units to the tenths place rounded up to the next higher tenth.
The T.I is also used in specifying the appropriate label for the package.
13.3.2.5.3 Reportable Quantity U.S. Requirement
Radioactive material packages moved into, out of, or through the U.S. shall be marked with the
letters "RQ" when the activity of the material is large enough to make it a reportable quantity
(RQ), see the table below for RQ values.

the packaging materials
any special conditions for that package
13.3.3.2 Radioactive Material Package Types
The regulations require testing and approval for radioactive materials packages. There are three
types of tested and approved packages for radioactive materials. The tested and approved
packages are as follows:
Type A
Type B
Type C
The type of package that shall be used is determined by the nuclide and the activity of the
material combined with whether the material is special form or normal form. The regulations
establish two activity limits (listed as A
1
and A
2
) for each nuclide (see the table below for A
values). The A
1
value sets the maximum activity for that nuclide that may moved in a Type A
package if the material is special form. The A
2
value sets the maximum activity for that nuclide
that may be moved in a Type A package if the material is not special form.

13.3.3.3 Package Dose Rate Limits
In conjunction with the T.I., the regulations prescribe the maximum permissible dose rate for
packages of radioactive materials offered for movement. The radiation level limitations are
summarized in the table below:
Table 13-4
Radioactive materials packages - maximum radiation level limitations
Maximum Dose Rate on any point on the
surface of the Package
Maximum Dose Rate at any point one meter
from the surface of the Package
2.0 mSv/hr (200 mrem/hr)
0.1 mSv/hr (10 mrem/hr) at 1 m (3.3 ft)
13.3.4 Special Conditions
13.3.4.1 Special Form
Special form is a tested and government-approved form of radioactive material. Most sealed
sources are special form material. A government agency (called the Competent Authority)
Reviews safety tests performed on a prototype of the source,
Certifies that the source is special form material, and
Issues a certificate.
A third party normally performs these tests for the manufacturer of the special form material.
If radioactive material is moved as special form material (e.g., uses a proper shipping name such
as RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, TYPE A PACKAGE, SPECIAL FORM) a copy of the
certificate may be required.
13.3.4.2 Exempt Quantities
An exempt quantity is an activity of radioactive material that may be moved in an excepted
package. There are two levels of exempt quantities: one for material contained within a logging
tool, meter or other instrument or article and a second for material shipped as a limited quantity of
material.
Excepted packages do not require marks, labels or hazardous materials shipping papers, though a
hazardous material shipping paper may be required as a usage record for some of these items.
13.3.4.2.1 Exempt Quantity Limits for Radioactive Material within Instruments or Articles
The Exempt Quantity Limits for radioactive material within an instrument or an article are:
Special form material with an activity less than or equal to 0.01 x A
1
is an exempt
quantity and may be moved in an excepted package.
Normal form material with an activity less than or equal to 0.01 x A
2

is an exempt
quantity and may be moved in an excepted package.

13.3.4.2.2 Exempt Quantity Limits for Limited Quantity of Materials
The Exempt Quantity Limits for radioactive material shipped as a Limited Quantity of Material
are:
Special form material with an activity less than or equal to 0.001 x A
1

is an exempt
quantity and may be moved in an excepted package.
Normal form material with an activity less than or equal to 0.001 x A
2
is an exempt
quantity and may be moved in an excepted package.
13.3.4.3 Overpacks
An overpack is a container or pallet into or onto which one or more radioactive materials
packages may be placed for easier movement. Since all radioactive materials are part of a
radioactive materials package, the construction of and materials used for overpacks are not
controlled by the regulations.
13.3.5 Marking and Labeling
Marking and labeling regulations involve the placement of information on the exterior of
packages and overpacks. Labels have the classification information, Class 7 for radioactive
materials and the marks provide details about the material.
Unlike other hazardous material classes, radioactive materials require that two labels be placed on
opposite sides (may not be top and bottom) of each radioactive materials package and two labels
be placed on opposite sides (may not be top and bottom) of an overpack.
The regulations include specifications for these labels that cover the color, shape, size, durability
and placement.
Marks will have the following identification information:
the name and address of the consignee
either packaging specification marks for a package or the text, "Inner Packages Comply
with Prescribed Specifications" for overpacks
weight of the package or overpack in grams
A complete set of marks will be placed on the radioactive materials package and on an overpack.
For marking, the regulations include specifications that cover only size and durability.
13.3.5.1 Marks and Labels for Excepted Packages
Excepted Packages do not require marks and labels.
13.3.5.2 Types of Radioactive Material Labels
For radioactive materials there are three types of labels:
Radioactive White I commonly referred to as White I

Use (not allowed on OFS vehicles)
In addition to the standard information on the label, the label used on a package shall also include
the nuclide (e.g. Cs-137) and the activity in becquerels (e.g. 74 GBq) and for Yellow II and
Yellow III labels the Transport Index (T.I.) as well.
Each radioactive material package containing a sealed source which requires a White I, Yellow II
or Yellow III label shall be marked with the serial number and assay date (date of manufacture)
of the source.
13.3.6 Shipping Papers
Shipping papers for hazardous materials provide information on the items in the shipment, and
are required by the regulations to have the following information:
Number of packages
Hazard Declaration (identifies the material as hazardous)
Type of packages (e.g., transport shield, fabric cover, steel tube)
All identification information (proper shipping name, classification, UN number, package
type, and other required information)
Total gross weight of the packages
Emergency Information (e.g. Emergency Guide 164)
Emergency response telephone number
