In order to transport spent resin in a high integrated container made of high density polyethylene, a method of classifying transportation grade by radioactivity analysis was developed. Radioactivity ratios between radioisotopes in spent resin were derived from radioactivity analysis results about spent resin. The curie-to-dose factors were determined to estimate radioisotope inventory from surface dose rates of spent resin. From the results, boundary value between A type and B type carrier with spent resin in high integrated container made of high density polyethylene was derived to be 1.19 TBq, and the corresponding surface dose rate was 124.2 mSv/h.
