A point-source measurement of this specimen with the Radiacode 103 was over 43 mR/h (gamma only) on contact. To comply with regulatory requirements — including the 0.5 mR/h package surface limit (beta + gamma) — this specimen will ship in a lead wrap at least 1/32" (0.8 mm) in thickness inside a twelve inch box!
Disclaimer: Although a contact measurement for this specimen was 43 mR/h, handling this specimen will not result in that dose rate to the entire body. This measurement is provided to illustrate the challenges of shipping the specimen and does not represent actual handling exposure, as the inverse square law states that radiation intensity decreases rapidly with the square of the distance from the source.
