Excepted packaging is described as:

Excepted packaging is described as:

• A. Low levels of radiation that must not leak
• B. Small quantities of radiation with inner container
• C. Extremely low levels of radiation, no significant hazard if involved in accident
• D. Specialized containers for extreme levels

Answer: (C)

Excepted packaging is used for radioactive materials in such tiny amounts that the potential hazard is essentially negligible. Because the activity is below exemption limits, the regulatory approach allows a very simple packaging method since the risk even if the package is damaged doesn’t pose a significant danger. That core idea—extremely low radiation levels and no significant hazard in an accident—is what this category describes. The other descriptions point to more robust containment and testing requirements typical of higher-activity packaging, so they don’t fit the excepted category.
