Of the RADIOACTIVE hazard labels, which one is used on packages with the highest radiation level at the surface?
Correct answer: Yellow III.
Answer options
- AWhite I
- BYellow II
- CYellow III Correct
Why
Packaging for radioactive material cannot stop all radiation, so the label tells handlers how much reaches the outside. The levels rise from White I, the lowest, through Yellow II to Yellow III, which marks the highest surface radiation level allowed.
