We are only allowed to ship radioactive sources when we have a copy
of the handling permit in hand. We can assist you with the procure-
ment of the necessary documents. In this case, contact our responsi-
ble sales organisation.
For safety reasons and to save costs, we always ship the source
holder with the source installed. If the operator needs the source con-
tainer in advance, the source must be shipped later on. In such cases,
the source is shipped in a transport drum.
Other countries
We are only allowed to ship radioactive sources when we have a copy
of the import license in hand. We can assist you with the procurement
of the necessary documents. In this case, contact our responsible
sales organisation.
We can only ship to foreign countries when the radioactive source is
mounted in the source container.
During shipment, the source container is in switch position OFF. This
position is secured by a lock.
Transport of the loaded source container is carried out by a company
authorized by us and with official approval for such transports.
The transport is carried out in a type A packaging (source holder VE-
GASOURCE 31) in compliance with the European and international
convention on the transport of dangerous goods (ADR and DGR/IATA
regulations).
