105 CMR 120.080
Appendix A: Table 1. This is determined by calculating the ratio of the total activity
of each radionuclide to the category 2 threshold for that radionuclide and adding the ratios
together. If the sum is equal to or exceeds one, the quantity would be considered a category 2
quantity. Category 2 quantities of radioactive material do not include the radioactive material
contained in any fuel assembly, subassembly, fuel rod, or fuel pellet.

stationary equipment installed in a fixed location.
Movement Control Center means an operations center that is remote from transport activity and

of attempted attacks or thefts, provides a means for reporting these and other problems to
appropriate agencies and can request and coordinate appropriate aid.
No-later-than Arrival Time means the date and time that the shipping licensee and receiving
licensee have established as the time at which an investigation will be initiated if the shipment

hours after the estimated arrival time for shipments of category 2 quantities of radioactive
material.
Reviewing Official means the individual who shall make the trustworthiness and reliability
determination of an individual to determine whether the individual may have, or continue to
have, unescorted access to the category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive materials that
are possessed by the licensee.
Sabotage means deliberate damage, with malevolent intent, to a category 1 or category 2
quantity of radioactive material, a device that contains a category 1 or category 2 quantity of
radioactive material, or the components of the security system.

or from which, in the event of an emergency, the transport crew can notify and wait for the local

Trustworthiness and Reliability are characteristics of an individual considered dependable in
judgment, character, and performance, such that unescorted access to category 1 or category 2
quantities of radioactive material by that individual does not constitute an unreasonable risk to
the public health and safety or security. A determination of trustworthiness and reliability for
this purpose is based upon the results from a background investigation.
Unescorted Access means solitary access to an aggregated category 1 or category 2 quantity of
