(a) No licensee shall deliver any source material, byproduct
material, or other licensed radioactive material to a carrier for transport,
unless:
(1) the licensee complies with the applicable requirements
of the rules, appropriate to the mode of transport, of the United States Department
of Transportation insofar as those rules relate to the packing of radioactive
material and to the monitoring, marking, and labeling of those packages or
containers;
(2) the licensee establishes procedures for opening and closing
packages and containers in which radioactive material is transported to provide
safety and to assure that, prior to the delivery to a carrier for transport,
each package or container is properly closed for transport; and
(3) the licensee assures that any special instructions needed
to safely open the package or container are sent to or have been made available
to the consignee prior to delivery of a package or container to a carrier
for transport.
(b) For the purpose of subsection (a) of this section, licensees
who transport their own licensed material as private carriers are considered
to have delivered the material to a carrier for transport.
