Radioactive materials containers are packaged according to which categories?

Radioactive materials containers are packaged according to which categories?

• A. Industrial, Excepted, Type A, Type B, Type C
• B. Federal, Local, State, International
• C. Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary
• D. Metallic, Non-metallic, Composite, Organic

Answer: (A)

Radioactive materials containers are categorized by the level of protection and regulatory requirements needed for transport. The established packaging categories are Excepted, Industrial, Type A, Type B, and Type C. This range covers from minimal containment for very small activities to the strongest, most tested packaging for high-activity materials, including special considerations for air transport with Type C. The other options refer to governance levels, general containment rankings, or material types, none of which describe the official packaging classifications used for transporting radioactive materials.
