Question 718 Deck General
70% to passA 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?
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.
