ter, in any motor vehicle, trailer or storage location must be limited so that the total transport index number, as defined in § 173.389 (h) of this chapter, and determined by adding together the transport index numbers shown on the labels of the individual packages does not exceed 50. This provision does not apply to sole-use shipments described in § 173.393 (j) or (k) or § 173.397 of this chapter. (b) Packages of radioactive material bearing "radioactive yellow II" or "radioactive yellow-III" labels shall not be placed in motor vehicles or other places closer than the distances shown in the following table to any area which may be continuously occupied by passengers, employees, or shipments of animals, nor closer than the distances shown in the table below to any package containing undeveloped film (if so marked). If more than one of these packages is present, the distance shall be computed from the following table on the basis of the total transport index number (determined by adding together the transport index numbers on the labels of the individual packages) of packages in the vehicle or storeroom. NOTE 1: The distance in the table must be measured from the nearest point on the packages of radioactive materials. (c) Shipments of low specific activity materials, as defined in § 173.391 of this chapter, must be loaded so as to avoid spillage and scattering of loose materials. Loading restrictions are set forth in § 173.397 of this chapter. (d) Packages must be so blocked and braced that they cannot change position during conditions normally incident to transportation. (e) Persons should not remain unnecessarily in a vehicle containing radioactive materials.

Carriers must not return such vehicles to service until the radiation dose rate at any accessible surface is not more than 0.5 millirem per hour, and there is no significant removable radioactive surface contamination (see § 173.399 of this chapter). (b) This section does not apply to any vehicle used solely for transporting radioactive material if a survey of the interior surface shows that the radiation dose rate does not exceed 10 millirem per hour at the interior surface or 2 millirem per hour at 3 feet from any interior surface. These vehicles must be stenciled with the words "For Radioactive Materials Use Only" in lettering at least 3 inches high in a conspicuous place, on both sides of the exterior of the vehicle. These vehicles must be kept closed at all times other than loading and unloading. (c) In case of fire, accident, breakage, or unusual delay involving shipments of radioactive material, see § 177.861.
