Radioactive substances comprise substances or a combination of substances which emit ionizing radiation (uranium, plutonium).
Some radioactive materials in "exclusive use" with low specific activity radioactive materials will not bear the label, however, the RADIOACTIVE placard is required.
Radioactive White-I
The Radioactive White-I label is attached to packages with extremely low levels of external radiation. The maximum contact radiation level associated with this label is 0.5 mrem/hour.

Electronic Code of Fedural Regulations for Non-Flammable D.O.T. Label
D.O.T. Radioactive I Label is very often referred to as an Accuform brand with the part number of MSL201EV5
All shipments of radioactive material, with the exception of those containing limited quantities or those of low specific activity (LSA), bear two identifying warning labels affixed to opposite sides of the outer package. Three different labels -- White-I, Yellow-II, or Yellow-III -- are used on the external surface of packages containing radioactive material.
The U.N. hazard class "7" is on labels of radioactive material.
Package labels specify the radioactive content and the quantity in curies. Yellow-II and Yellow-III also specify the transport index.
