Subject:	NRMP - Radioactive Materials Transportation Regulations

Importance:	High
To all Radiation Safety Officers and Medical/Research NRMP Permittees:

The Naval Radioactive Materials Permit (NRMP) Webpage regarding the "Transportation/Shipment of Radioactive Materials" has recently been updated.  Significant updates include the addition of Defense Transportation Regulations (DTR), which are applicable to all CONUS and OCONUS activities that desire to ship radioactive materials (RAM), including source-bearing RADIAC equipment.  In addition, the newest revision of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) was recently released, and a link to the regulations was added to the NRMP Webpage.  For convenience, the contents of the webpage have been pasted below.

The applicable documents can either be downloaded from the NEHC webpage at http://www-nehc.med.navy.mil/occmed/rad_rmt_frn.htm or can be accessed by clicking directly on the links below.

This message is for distribution to all Navy Medical and Medical Research Activities. 

Very respectfully,

LCDR Pomije
