IM 102 cargo category commonly associated with its intermodal portable tanks?

• A. Radioactive materials
• B. Nonregulated materials
• C. Flammable gases
• D. Hydrogen

Answer: (B)

Intermodal portable tanks (IM 102) are designed to move liquids in bulk across modes with minimal handling, and they are typically used for liquids that are not classified as hazardous. That makes nonregulated materials the best match, since these tanks are not intended for the broad range of hazardous materials that require other specialized packaging.

Radioactive materials require shielding and specific containment, often with different packaging standards. Flammable gases and hydrogen require specialized gas containment solutions (high-pressure vessels, cryogenic equipment, etc.) rather than portable tanks designed for nonhazardous liquids. So the common association with IM 102 is nonregulated liquids.
