Half yellow/Half White DOD label/sign indicates:

The key idea is how hazard labels convey danger at a glance. A half yellow and half white DoD label is used to mark radioactive materials. The yellow portion catches attention and signals a radiological hazard, while the white portion is used to display the specific radiation warning and handling guidance. Seeing this split-color scheme tells you to treat the material as radioactive and follow radiological safety procedures—minimize exposure time, maximize distance, use shielding as required, and rely on radiological controls and monitoring. Oxidizing agents, toxins/poisonous or infectious materials, and explosives have different identifying signs and color schemes. Those categories use other visual cues (different color patterns, symbols, or placards) that don’t match the half yellow/half white split, so that specific combination points to radioactive materials.
