20 AFMAN 24-204(I)/TM 38-250/NAVSUP PUB 505/MCO P4030.19H/ DLAI 4145.3 11 DECEMBER 2001 TCU Transportation Control Unit TMO Traffic Management Office UCT Underwater Construction Team UN United Nations USG United States Government USTRANSCOM United States Transportation Command WRSK War Readiness Spares Kit Terms A1--The maximum activity of special form radioactive material permitted in a type A package. A2--The  maximum  activity  of  radioactive  material,  other  than  special  form  or  low  specific  activity  radioactive material,  permitted  in  a  type  A  package.    These  values  are  either  listed  in  A11.5  or  may  be  derived  using  the procedure in A11.4. HArticle--A manufactured item, containing a hazardous material or substance, in a specific shape or design which end use is dependent on the shape or design. The shape or design prevents loss of hazardous contents during normal conditions of transport. Atmospheric Pressure--Atmospheric pressure is 101.3kPa (14.7 psi). Bag--A flexible packaging made of paper, plastic film textiles, woven material or other similar materials. Bottle--An inner packaging having a neck of relatively smaller cross section than the body and an opening capable of holding a closure for retention of the contents. Box--A  packaging  with  complete  rectangular  or  polygonal  faces  made  of  metal,  wood,  plywood,  reconstituted wood, fiberboard, plastic, or other suitable material. Bulk Packaging--A packaging, with no intermediate form of containment, that has a maximum capacity greater than 400 kg (882 lbs) or 450 L (119 gallons). Class 1 (Explosives)--Any substance or article (including a device) which is designed to function by explosion (i.e., an extremely rapid release of gas and heat).  Unless the substance or article is otherwise classed in table A4.1, the term "explosive" may also refer to an item that is able to produce a chemical reaction within  itself  and  is  able  to function in a similar manner even if not designed to function by explosion.  Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions as follows: - Division 1.1--Consists of explosives that have a mass explosion hazard.  A mass explosion is  one  which affects almost the entire load instantaneously. - Division 1.2--Consists of explosives that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard. - Division 1.3--Consists of explosives that have a fire hazard and a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard (or both), but not a mass explosion hazard. - Division 1.4--Consists of explosive devices that present a minor explosion hazard.  The explosive effects are  largely  confined  to  the  package  and  no  projection  of  fragments  of  appreciable  size  or  range  is  to  be expected.  An external fire must not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package. - Division 1.5--Consists of very insensitive explosives.  This division is comprised of substances which have a mass explosion hazard but are so insensitive that there is very little probability  of initiation or  of  transition from burning to detonation under normal transportation conditions. - Division  1.6--Consists  of  extremely  insensitive  articles that  do  not  have  a  mass  explosion  hazard.    This division  is  comprised  of  articles  which  contain  only  extremely  insensitive  detonating  substances  and  which
