Transport Index 1 to ≤ 10 corresponds to which dose rate range?

The Transport Index is a measure of the radiation level at a distance of 1 meter from the surface of the package, used to categorize how a shipment must be handled during transport. The higher the TI, the higher the dose rate at that 1-meter point, and the more stringent the transport controls. For TI values between 1 and 10, the corresponding dose rate at 1 meter falls in the range from greater than 2 mSv per hour up to 10 mSv per hour. That’s why the dose-rate range described as more than 2 mSv/h but not more than 10 mSv/h is the correct match for TI values 1 through 10.
