As used in this chapter:
(a) "Curie" means an expression of the quantity of radiation in terms of the number of atoms which disintegrate per second. A curie is that quantity of radioactive materials which decays such that thirty-seven billion atoms disintegrate per second.
(b) "Large quantity radioactive materials" means a quantity the aggregate radioactivity of which exceeds that specified in 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 71, entitled "Packaging of Radioactive Materials for Transport," Section 71.4(f), as amended.
(c) "Millicurie" means one thousandth of a curie.
(d) "Motor vehicle" means any vehicle defined as a motor vehicle in Section 402.22.
(e) "Person" means any individual, partnership or corporation engaged in the transportation of passengers or property as a common, contract or private carrier or freight forwarder, as those terms are used in the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended.
(f) "Radioactive material" means any material or combination of materials which spontaneously emits ionizing radiation. Materials in which the estimated specific activity is not greater than 0.002 microcuries per gram of material and in which the radioactivity is essentially uniformly distributed are not considered to be radioactive materials.
