Normally the “Radioactive–SCO” marking required in 49 CFR 173.427(a)(6)(vi) is placed on the outside of the package (or unpackaged object). So, can a curtain side style trailer be a package? Could this trailer meet the packaging closure and leakproof requirements for general design listed in 49 CFR 173.410 (including 173.24, 173.24a, 173.24b as applicable)?
