Holtec has a number of patented transport package designs that the company will use to ship contaminated materials to facilities licensed to receive the respective materials. The package type used for transporting the waste depends on its radioactivity level which is often stated in curies. The package design must meet the NRC and Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements, which essentially guarantee that the dose received by a person in the vicinity of the transport vehicle will be less than the cosmic and terrestrial radiation that bathes the land all hours of the day and night.
