A.
Type A Transport Package
The locked Model 989 exposure device in either the approved #1400 Pelican Case storage and shipping case, or the
Model 98229 package, meets the requirements for a Type A shipping package under the regulations of the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Transport Canada and the International Atomic Energy
Agency. Both packages are designed and tested to meet international requirements as a Type A transport package.
When loaded with a radioactive source, the Model 989 exposure device may only be transported in an approved Type A
container such as the reusable Model 98229 storage and shipping case (see Figure 29). The Model 98229 is approved for
transport of the Model 989 exposure device with or without the main fixture kit components available from QSA (see
Figure 2). This includes the handle assembly, base assembly, ratchet strap, clamp and rods. The storage and transport
case has a provision for locking using a padlock. Once installed and secured, the padlock serves as the tamper indicator
for transport.
