Ms. Marjory Crawford Reference No. 07-0093

Dear Ms. Crawford:
This responds to your May 3, 2007 letter and our telephone conversations concerning the transportation of certain hermetically sealed nuclear radiation sensor (detector) tubes containing less than one gram of Boron trifluoride, 2.3, Hazard Zone B, at less than atmospheric pressure under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
We reviewed the information submitted on the hermetically sealed detector tubes, each containing not more than one gram of Boron trifluoride filled to less than atmospheric pressure, and packaged in a specially designed packaging. Based on the form and quantity of Boron trifluoride contained in the radiation detector tubes, it is our determination these tubes, when packaged and offered for shipment as described in your letter, will not pose an unreasonable risk to health, public safety or property during transportation and, therefore, are not subject to the HMR.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact this office if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
