70% to pass

A package contains nitric acid solution and is radioactive. The radiation level at the package surface is .36 millirems per hour. How should this package be labeled?

A Radioactive I and corrosive
B Fissile class I
C Radioactive II and poison
D Radioactive II and oxidizer
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Radioactive I and corrosive. The package contains a nitric acid solution, which is a corrosive material, and it is also radioactive. Since the radiation level at the package surface is 0.36 millirems per hour, it falls under the Radioactive I category. Therefore, the package should be labeled as "Radioactive I and corrosive." The other options are incorrect because: B) Fissile class I is not applicable, as fissile materials are not mentioned; C) Radioactive II and poison is incorrect, as nitric acid is a corrosive, not a poison; and D) Radioactive II and oxidizer is incorrect, as nitric acid is a corrosive, not an oxidizer.
