Louisiana State University Radiation Safety Office Module 7 RADIOACTIVE WASTE HANDLING, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Storage of Radioactive Waste Store waste in only approved bags and containers. Bags (item #12788 or 11237), Boxes (item #17775) and Carboys (item# 65863W) are available from Lab Safety Supply (www.labsafety.com) Do NOT use anything that can be mistaken for a ordinary trash container

WASTE CONTAINERS

WASTE CONTAINERS This is a Violation.

Storage of Radioactive Waste Do not mix aqueous and organic liquid waste. Do not mix liquid and dry waste, i.e., do not dispose of such items as pipette tips in liquid waste nor vials with liquid in dry waste Segregate dry waste by half-lives equal to or less than 100 days and that with half-lives greater than 100 days.

Storage of Radioactive Waste Do not mix scintillation vials that contain different radionuclides. Do not use coke bottles, milk bottles, etc. for liquid waste.

Legal Methods of Disposing of Radioactive Waste Hold for Decay Dump to Sanitary Sewer Incineration Ship to Disposal Site Dispose of as if not radioactive

Legal Methods of Disposing of Radioactive Waste Hold for Decay You can store waste in the laboratory if the half-life is no greater than 36 days. The Radiation Safety Office can hold waste with half-lives up to 100 days.

Legal Methods of Disposing of Radioactive Waste Dump to Sanitary Sewer Must be water soluble or a readily dispersible biological material in water. Concentration is limited by regulations - check with the Radiation Safety Office. Must obtain permission from the Radiation Safety Office prior to dumping

Legal Methods of Disposing of Radioactive Waste Incineration Preferred method of disposing of combustibles. Generator pays for the disposal cost.

Legal Methods of Disposing of Radioactive Waste Ship to an approved disposal site Sealed sources in gauges, detectors or counters and check sources are sent to approved disposal site for disposal Generator pays for the disposal cost.

Legal Methods of Disposing of Radioactive Waste Dispose of as if it not Radioactive Scintillation Cocktail containing no more than 0.05 microcuries per ml of H-3 or C-14 may be discarded as if it is not radioactive. If chemicals are disposed of properly, the radioactivity will not pose a problem.

Legal Methods of Disposing of Radioactive Waste Dispose of as if it not Radioactive (cont.) Animal Tissue containing no more than 0.05 microcuries per ml of H-3, or C-14 may be discarded as if it is not radioactive. If animal tissue is disposed of properly, the radioactivity will not pose a problem.

Waste Disposal Tag Every waste bottle, bag or box must have a completed waste disposal tag attached, with isotope, activity, volume, date, PI and lab # For dry waste, estimate volume in cubic feet For liquid waste, estimate volume in liters Waste will not be picked up without a completed waste tag
