What must be documented for each shipment of a nuclear gauge?

For each shipment of a nuclear gauge, documenting the inspection and security process is crucial due to the sensitive nature of the materials involved. Nuclear gauges typically contain radioactive sources, making it vital to ensure safety and compliance with regulations throughout transport. This documentation serves multiple purposes: it helps to verify that proper safety protocols were followed, ensures that the gauge is adequately secured to prevent any potential leaks or contamination, and satisfies legal and regulatory requirements, which are designed to protect public health and the environment.

While the names of involved personnel, the cost of the shipment, and delivery times are important for logistical and operational reasons, they do not carry the same level of regulatory importance as the inspection and security process. The focus on safety and compliance with established best practices in handling radioactive materials underscores the necessity of thorough documentation in relation to inspections and securing during transport.
