The NRC establishes requirements for the design and manufacture of packages for radioactive materials. The Department of Transportation regulates the shipments while they are in transit, and sets standards for labeling and smaller quantity packages. See Title 49, Transportation, of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations.
The maximum allowable radioactivity is 0.5 mrem/hr on the package surface. Radioactive – Yellow II: low radiation levels. The maximum allowable radioactivity is 50 mrem/hr on the package surface, and one mrem/hr at three feet from the package. Radioactive – Yellow III: higher levels of radiation.
High-pressure hydrogen tanks are designed not to rupture and are held to rigorous performance requirements. Furthermore, these tanks undergo extensive testing to make sure that they meet these performance requirements. A table of standards enacted or under development and various required tests are shown in Table 1. Table 1.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are the technologies we simply know as batteries that are big enough to power your business. Power from renewables, like solar and wind, are stored in a BESS for later use. They come in different shapes and sizes, suit different applications and settings, and use different technologies and chemicals to do
