What is the highest level of radioactive material?
YELLOW-III
RADIOACTIVE WHITE-I is the lowest category and RADIOACTIVE YELLOW-III is the highest. For example, a package with a transport index of 0.8 and a maximum surface radiation level of 0.6 millisievert (60 millirems) per hour must bear a RADIOACTIVE YELLOW-III label.
What radioactive 3?
Radioactive Yellow-III. The Radioactive Yellow-III label is attached to packages with extremely low levels of external radiation. The maximum contact radiation level associated with this label is Higher radiation levels–200mrem/hr (2 mSv/hr) maximum on surface;a 10 mrem/hr (0.1 mSv/hr) maximum at 1 meter.
What is un3332?
Each category of hazardous material shipment has a “proper shipping name” and a corresponding United Nations Hazardous Material Identification Number (UN number). “UN 3332” is the United Nations hazardous material designation (UN number) for non-fissile special form radioactive material.
What is an excepted package?
Excepted Packaging is used to transport material with extremely low levels of radioactivity. Excepted packagings are authorized for limited quantities of radioactive material that would pose a very low hazard if released in an accident. Most low-level radioactive waste is shipped in these packages.
What is UN2924 used for?

The cardboard package in the foreground above has a Radioactive Yellow-III hazard label (square on point) AND a separate black text on white marking which says “Radioactive Material Type A Package, UN 2915. UN 2915 means “Radioactive material, Type A package [non-special form, non fissile or fissile-excepted”)
What are the requirements for excepted packaging for radioactive materials?
Requirements for excepted packaging are addressed in 49 CFR 173.421. Label reads “Radioactive Material Excepted Package. This package contains radioactive material, excepted package and is in all respects in compliance with the applicable international and national governmental regulations. UN 2910
Where do I put the UN 2910 identification number?
The UN Identification Number “2910” should be written on the label on the line next to the “UN”. The UN 2910 identification number does not need to be written elsewhere on the outside of the package if the “Radioactive Material, Excepted Package” label is being used. (See step 4 above).
When to ship un2915 un2910-radqual?
ª If your surface reading is greater than.5 mrem/hr, but less than 50 mrem/hr, you must ship your package as a UN2915. ª If your surface reading is less than.5 mrem/hr, you can ship your package as a UN2910. ª If your surface reading is greater than 50 mrem/hr, contact your Radiation Safety Officer
