This Regulatory Compliance Guide (RCG) provides guidance on the use and selection of appropriate wire rope type package tiedowns. It provides an effective way to encourage and to ensure uniform implementation of regulatory requirements applicable to tiedowns. It provides general guidelines for securing packages weighing 5,000 pounds or greater that contain radioactive materials onto legal weight trucks (exclusive of packagings having their own trailer with trunnion type tiedown). This RCG includes a computerized Tiedown Stress Calculation Program (TSCP) which calculates the stresses in the wire-rope tiedowns and specifies appropriate sizes of wire rope and associated hardware parameters (such as turnback length, number of cable clips, etc.).
