Pipe-like packaging of radioactive materials is Type

• A. B
• B. A
• C. C
• D. D

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that pipe-like packaging falls under Type B packagings. Type B containers are built to carry larger quantities of radioactive material and must keep the contents contained and shielded even in severe accident conditions. A pipe-type design is a robust form used to ensure containment and shielding when dealing with higher activity materials, which is beyond what Type A packagings are designed to handle. Type A is for smaller quantities with less demanding containment requirements, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for pipe-like, high-activity contents. Type C is associated with specific air-transport scenarios and involves different criteria, not the typical pipe-like packaging described here.
