Oil is not generally radioactive unless it was originally located near radioactive material when it was extracted. More often, it only becomes radioactive when exposed to or stored near radioactive materials post processing.
The radioactive materials produced in a nuclear reactor are radioactive because of instability in the nucleus of the atoms of the radioactive materials. Chemistry only affects the way elements behave because of the electron structure. Chemistry is electonic and the radioactive products have problems in their nuclei. Chemistry doesn't affect the nucleus of the atom, so chemical methods cannot be used to deal with radioactive materials, per se.

The DOT (Department of Transportation) class for radioactive materials is Hazardous. The specific Hazard number will be determined by the exact name of the radioactive materials. Special permits and placarding are needed for vehicles carrying hazardous materials. The DOT class is categorized into 9 classes according to hazardous materials transportation. Class 7 is the general DOT class for radioactive materials.
Hazard Class 7 is the class for radioactive materials.
Hazard Class 7 is for radioactive materials.
9 classes.
The DOT system of placards and labels classifies hazardous materials according to their type of hazard, i.e. radioactive, corrosive, flammable liquid, etc.
All classes of hazardous materials require special handling. Explosives and radioactive materials usually get more attention in that regard.
In that case, the radioactive materials will pollute the atmosphere.
Radioactive materials decay at predictable rates
"The distinctive symbol used to identify radioactive materials is the
It is an area that is contaminated with radioactive materials.
Explosive materials are in DOT hazard class 1.
There are three (3) packaging groups in the DOT regulations for shipping hazardous materials. Note, however, that some hazard classes have no packaging groups.
