What is the maximum transport index of all radioactive material packages in a single vehicle?

The correct maximum transport index of all radioactive material packages in a single vehicle is 50. The transport index is a measurement used to indicate the radiation level at a distance of one meter from a package containing radioactive materials. It is essential for ensuring the safety of transport personnel and the general public by managing exposure to radiation.

The reason this limit is established is to balance safe transportation while effectively managing the risks associated with transporting radioactive materials. Each transport vehicle has regulations to ensure that it does not exceed this maximum transport index. This helps to mitigate risk and protect the environment and public health during the transport of hazardous materials.

Furthermore, the transport index helps emergency responders gauge the severity of the situation in case of an accident or emergency involving radioactive materials. It provides critical information in determining the necessary precautions and responses that need to be enacted.

Other potential answers exceed the established limits and would therefore pose a higher risk when transporting such materials in compliance with safety regulations. Thus, the established threshold of 50 ensures both compliance and safety in handling radioactive materials during transportation.
