This document describes the development and approach for the radiological characterization of Cm-244 sealed sources for shipment to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. The document uses the extensive documentation and information on the nuclear material content of each source (mass or activity of material used) and information and data on the radionuclide distributions within the nuclear material. This information allows complete characterization without the need for additional measurements.
