Abstract
This paper is intended as an aid for preparing radioactive material shipments in academic and medical facilities. These facilities may only ship radioactive materials infrequently. As such, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations can be very time consuming. Excepted package shipments (including empty packages) and shipments using Type A packages for a select list of isotopes commonly used by academic and medical facilities are covered. Tables and flowcharts are used to direct one through the process of determining if the material to be shipped meets the definition of radioactive material for transportation purposes and if it qualifies for excepted package or Type A package shipment. The reader is then directed to procedures to properly prepare, document, and ship the radioactive material package.
