INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL
Disposal
By international regulations, radioactive materials that are no longer required must be transferred to a licensed recipient for final disposition.
Authorized recipients will provide any specific conditions to the shipper as required by regulatory authorities. As a minimum, sources that are transferred for a final disposition must be within a current leak test and properly secured within an authorized package before shipment.
Damaged, cropped, modified or contaminated source assemblies may require special handling and special transport containers. Notify the authorized recipient for specific instructions in these circumstances.
Depleted Uranium (DU) shielded exposure devices that are removed from service due to severe damage, worn through ‘S’ tubes or decommissioning reasons must be sent to a licensed recipient for final disposition. If the Type B transport status of a damaged exposure device is impaired, the exposure device must be transported without radioactive source assemblies. DU shielded exposure devices sent for final disposition must be properly packaged, surveyed, marked and labeled before placement into the transportation system.
