skos:definition "A number assigned to a 'package', 'overpack' or 'freight container', or to <br/>
unpackaged 'LSA-I' or 'SCO-I', which is used to provide 'control' over <i>radiation<br/>exposure</i>. (From Ref. [2].)<br/>
The value of the 'transport index' for a 'package' or 'overpack' is used (with the <br/>surface 'dose rate') in determining the category (I-WHITE, II-YELLOW or <br/>III-YELLOW) to which the 'package' or 'overpack' belongs, and hence which <br/>'requirements' are applicable to its 'transport'. A 'package' or 'overpack' with a <br/>'transport index' greater than 10 can be transported only under 'exclusive use'.<br/>The 'procedure' for calculating a 'transport index' is given in paras 526 and 527 of <br/>the 2005 edition of the Transport Regulations [2]. In essence, the <i>transport <br/>index</i> is the maximum 'dose rate' 1 m from the outer surface of the load, <br/>expressed in mrem/h (or the value in mSv/h multiplied by 100), and in <br/>specified cases multiplied by a factor between 1 (for small sized loads) and 10 <br/>(for large sized loads). (See Ref. [2].)<br/>" (en)
