Agnieszka R. TurczyńskaCERN has announced they had successfully transported antimatter by using the truck.
The question is: what ADR category antimatter falls under?
Brie Mmm
@brie I would exclude 7. It is not radioactive by itself. So it's either 1 or 9.
@agturcz 7 is a tricky one. Non-containment will result in radiation blast and subsequent radioactive pollution, so I'd insist on treating the load as class 7, if only to prepare potential responders for hazards on site; and if contained properly, well, then the classification is pure thought exercise.
@brie BTW, considering the amount of the antimatter (92 antiprotons, they said) this discussion is purely theoretical. As a fellow physicist (who, accidentally, has been working in CERN in the past) said: "the oomph of the release of the pneumatic brakes carries more energy, than annihilation of 92 antiprotons with 92 protons". We are talking about the magnitude of 10nJ.
