Large decontaminated equipment waste of such size as not to fit into a 55-gallon drum (with legs or other readily removable appendages removed).
Not to exceed 5 grams plutonium within the package.
5.
Equipment waste surfaces shall be decantaminated to a smearable level of no more than 150,000 dpm/100 cm2 prior to fixation or until successive decontamination cleaning operations do not reduce the smear-able contamination levels by more than ten percent. After fixation, equipment waste surfaces shall have a smearable level of contamination of no greater than 10,000 dpm/100 cm2. Outer surfaces shall have a smearable level of contamination of no greater than 20 dpm/100 cm2 Prior to fixing of contamination, large equipment waste shall be inspected to insure that:
(a) all sharp or protruding objects have been removed or blunted, and (b) pipe caps, gasketed blind flanges, covers, etc., have been installed wherever possible.
Following such inspection, the inner surfaces shall be fixed with " strip" or " clear" coating. The inner surface (s) may alternatively be fixed with a polurethane foam.

smearable level prior to fixation shall not exceed 300,000 dpm/100 cm2 and after fixation shall not exceed 25,000 dpm/
100 cm2 All other requirements of this condition shall apply.
6.
The large equipment waste shall be enc'*.ed in a tight fitting box constructed of 1" thick plywood. The space between the equipment and the box shall be fitted with foam.
