Which type of package is adequate for normal transport of radioactive material?

The Type A package is specifically designed for the normal transport of radioactive materials. It is engineered to withstand certain levels of impact and pressure, ensuring that the radioactive contents remain secure during typical handling and transportation scenarios. These packages must meet stringent regulatory requirements established by organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) for the safe shipping of materials that have a lower level of radioactivity.

Type A packages are typically used for materials that are not expected to present a significant danger under normal transport conditions. They are constructed to contain radioactive material without releasing it into the environment, even in the event of minor accidents or mishandling.

In contrast, Type B packages are designed for more highly radioactive materials and are meant to withstand severe accidents, while Yellow II refers to a classification indicating a certain level of radioactivity associated with the markings, not a package type itself. The term "Grave Danger package" is not a recognized category within regulatory systems for radioactive transport. Thus, Type A packages fulfill the criteria needed for the safe and compliant transportation of less hazardous radioactive materials in everyday circumstances.
