Tell me about Transport Index.

Where is it written?
What is it?
What radiation does it apply to?
What are the max for a package and vehicles total?

A

Transport Index is located in a rectangular box at the bottom of diamond.

It indicates the maximum level of radiation (in mR/hr) at one meter from an undamaged package.

It only applies to Gamma Radiation. (Readings of alpha or beta particles indicate the package may have been breached and the shielding compromised.

The max for a package is 10 mR/hr.

The max for the total vehicle is 50 mR/hr.

What are standpipe pressures? HROB vs. HRFPMD

What floor is high pressure pumping?
When is 3rd stage preferred vs. required?

A

HRFPMD = 105 + 5 per floor to fire. dont count first floor…..Or do 100 + (5floors) and count every floor.

High pressure pumping is 41st floor (300+PSI)
3rd stage PREFERRED 81st floor (500+PSI)
3rd stage REQUIRED 101st floor (600 PSI)
Limit is 700 PSI

HROB = 150 + 50 per 10 floors.
1-10 = 150
11-20 = 200
21-30 = 250
