Question

Question: In the United States, serious radiation exposures

Options:

1. Frequently result from radioactive transportation accidents due to the large number of such shipments
2. Have resulted from improper packaging of radioactive material shipments
3. Have resulted from improper labeling of radioactive material shipments
4. Have not resulted from radiological transportation accidents due largely to the nature of the materials transported and the use of appropriate protective packaging

Answer 1

4. Have not resulted from radiological transportation accidents due largely to the nature of the materials transported and the use of appropriate protective packaging

Explanation:

Due to the large number of radioactive material shipments, transportation accidents are the most common type of radiation exposure in United States.

Despite more frequent happening, there has been no exposure to serious nuclear radiation caused by these accidents.

This is largely due to the nature of the radioactive material being shipped and the use of protective packages.
