Disposition of Low Level Sealed Sources John McCormick Bionomics, Inc. Bionomics-Inc.com

No Real Difficulties Sources less than 10 curies 99% have disposal options Regulations relatively unchanged past 20 years Costs little higher after Barnwell closure Disposed 100,000 Sources WCS and ES Over past three years Bionomics-Inc.com

Basics, not really Difficulties Burial Site Acceptance Criteria Generator tracking cradle to grave Compact Export and/or Import Higher Operating Costs Permitting and Licensing Insurance Most polices do not cover radioactive Transportation Cant just FedEx the stuff around the country Bionomics-Inc.com

Inconsistent Regulations State VS State NRC VS State Within NRC Compact by Compact Leaves it Open for Interpretation Doesn't say I cant therefore I can Ship as material not waste to avoid the regulations Bionomics-Inc.com

Difficulties with Disposition Transuranic Sources over 27 mCi Multi Curie Sources Gauges, devices, etc. Removal of source may be difficult Contamination concerns Damaged Higher volume = higher cost More effort = higher cost Bionomics-Inc.com

Potentially Reusable or Waste? Multi-Curie Sources; possible Kr85; possible Large Am; possible Medical Sources; never to highly unlikely Industrial Gauges; highly unlikely Devices; never to highly unlikely Check Sources and Standards; rarely if ever Bionomics-Inc.com

Recycling; Dollars or Sense? 1 in 1,000 low level sources have value Rarely an actual use of the radioactive materials “returned” sources sent for disposal Housings may be recycled or scraped Recycling Revenue wont pay the labor Speculative collection hoping for future value Concentrating the problem Low Security and tracking standards Bionomics-Inc.com

Lack of Type B Shipping Containers Large Multi Curie Sources Casks High Cost Limited Availability and Uses Domestic Over packs Needed International Over packs Approved Bionomics-Inc.com

Generator Reasons Not to Dispose Cost No Regulatory Pressure Maybe someday it will be used Not in the way Waiting on DOE to take it for free Too much trouble Bionomics-Inc.com

Thoughts Consistent regulations and enforcement across the country Encourage generators to disposition unwanted sources on regular basis Quickly develop or resurrect simple Type B over packs for smaller sources Bionomics-Inc.com
