79. Packaging
(1) Radioactive material or items which require packaging for transport shall be packaged only in any of the following packages in order of increased protection-
(a) excepted package;
(b) industrial package (Type IP-1, IP-2 or IP-3);
(c) Type A package;
(d) Type B(M) package;
(e) Type B(U) package; and
(f) Type C package.
(2) Industrial packages, (IP-1, IP-2 or IP-3) may be used for the transport of low specific activity material or surface contaminated objects provided that the external radiation level at
3m from the unshielded material or object or objects does not exceed 10mSv/h.
(3) Radioactive material or items may be transported in packages which provide more protection than required for the material.
(4) Empty packages, which previously contained radioactive material, may be shipped as excepted packages provided that-
(a) they are in a well maintained condition and securely closed;
(b) the outer surface of any uranium or thorium in its structure is covered with an inactive sheath made of metal or some other substantial material;
(c) the level of internal non-fixed contamination does not exceed 100 times the levels
specified in regulation 81(1)(b); and
(d) any labels required for its previous use are no longer visible and all other
requirements for excepted packages in these regulations are met.
80. Mixed contents
A package shall not contain any other items except documents that are necessary for the use of radioactive material.
9. Packing of sorghum
(1) Sorghum shall either be bought or sold or bought and sold by the Board either in bulk or in grain bags.
(2) Grain bags in which sorghum is either bought or sold or bought and sold shall be new or good second-hand grain bags which-
(a) are manufactured from jute or phormium or jute and phormium;
(b) have a superficial measurement of not less than 7484 cm2 and not more than 8065 cm2 and which have been woven with porter and shot (warp and weft threads) of not less than-
(i) in the case of jute bags and jute-and-phormium bags, 32 warp and 32 weft threads per 100 mm;
(ii) in the case of phormium bags, 36 warp and 40 weft threads per 100 mm;
(iii) in the case of B-Twill bags, 24 warp and 32 weft threads per 100 mm;
(c) are strong enough for the conveyance of 100 kg net sorghum and are not so weathered or worn that they will break during normal handling, or, when empty, will tear if one end is held down with the flat heel and the other end is pulled by hand;
(d) be clean and not stained by any colouring substance or impregnated by any liquid capable of imparting stains, excluding trade marks or normal discolouration due to exposure to the sun;
(e) be free from holes but may be darned with twine of which the tensile strength shall be not less than 40 newtons or patched where necessary:
Provided that-
(i) none of the darns shall exceed 26 cm2 and that such darns shall overlap the small holes on all sides by at least 13 mm;
(ii) the darns shall be cross-stitched by hand with jute twine or machine-darned in such a manner that the darns correspond in closeness to the weave of the bag and that the material of the bag is not pulled together, thereby causing the snapping or displacement of the strands of the bag or the darns when the bag is filled with sorghum;
(iii) except for not more than two patches (one on each side) of not more than 38 mm by 254 mm each allowed at the mouth of the bag to cover cuts and affixed as indicated in paragraph (v), none of the other patches shall exceed 39 cm2;
(iv) patches, whether stitched or affixed with an adhesive, shall not overlap;
(v) patches shall be properly hand-sewn to the bags with jute twine or properly machine-darned over the entire surface of the patch with twine, the tensile strength of which shall be not less than 40 newtons;
(vi) patches affixed with an adhesive shall be properly affixed and will not be allowed to be closer than 150 mm from the mouth of the bag; and
(vii) bags of which the mouth sections have been replaced shall not be acceptable.
The Standard specifies quality, packaging and Marking requirements. It also specifies heavy metal, microbial and aflatoxin limits. It also specifies sampling and test methods.
