Sec. 20.1904  Labeling containers.

    (a) The licensee shall ensure that each container of licensed 
material bears a durable, clearly visible label bearing the radiation 
symbol and the words ``CAUTION, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL'' or ``DANGER, 
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL.'' The label must also provide sufficient 
information (such as the radionuclide(s) present, an estimate of the 
quantity of radioactivity, the date for which the activity is estimated, 
radiation levels, kinds of materials, and mass enrichment) to permit 
individuals handling or using the containers, or working in the vicinity 
of the containers, to take precautions to avoid or minimize exposures.
    (b) Each licensee shall, prior to removal or disposal of empty 
uncontaminated containers to unrestricted areas, remove or deface the 
radioactive material label or otherwise clearly indicate that the 
container no longer contains radioactive materials.
