For the first time in the world, antimatter is being transported by road at CERN in Geneva. The test carried out on Tuesday at the nuclear research centre is intended to prove that the antiparticles can be transported safely.

What does the transport safety square look like for a truck shifting anti-matter?

I adore how the rest of the fire diamond has absolutely no purpose and can be omitted

In the US it would just be for the compressed refrigeration gasses (if any), likely 2-1963. If you felt cheeky you might have a Class 7 plaquard (radiation) too, but you'd probably get in trouble for incorrectly labeling your cargo since 100 anti-protons isn't exactly a radiological threat.
