Tests for low dispersible radioactive material

To receive relief from the Type C package requirements, low dispersible radioactive material (LDM) must meet the same performance criteria for impact and fire resistance as a Type C package without producing significant quantities of dispersible material. 

A specimen that comprises or simulates low dispersible radioactive material shall be subjected to the enhanced thermal test specified in para. 736 and the impact test specified in para. 737. A different specimen may be used for each of the tests. Following each test, the specimen shall be subjected to the leach test specified in para. 703. After each test it shall be determined if the applicable requirements of para. 605 have been met.
