4 RADIOWASTE HANDLING PROCEDURES FOR VA WADSWORTH MEDICAL CENTER 1

The vaste disposal procedures outlined herein apply to anyrme who uses or plans to use radioactive isotopes at this institution.

Table 1.

The following physical states of radioactive waste are encountered at Wadsworth and are required to be kept separate:

Dry waste Liquid waste (including droplets e serum or other type vials)

Liquid scintillation counting vials (LSC)

Organic solvents Animal carcasses Table 2.

Radiowaste segregation must be accomplished by separation according t'o increasing half-lives (see below). Do not mix items from separate columns, or mix beta with gamma:

i l

Camma radiovastes Very short Short Medium Long 41 day 41 week

< 1 mo

SOLID WASTE - DRY Definition: Waste such as paper, plastic, dry solids, glass, etc.

Cannot include absorbed or solidified liquids, or serum vials or counting tubes containing any liquid Lab handling:

Collect daily accumulations of waste in small plastic bags to form a package aproximately 8" x 12" (for compactor processing), tie neck of bag and store bag in laboratory radiowaste can until full.

Maintain log of isotope, amount and date, and label each disposal bag accordingly.

Segregate radioisotopes according to chart provided. Do not mix radioisotopes of short and long half-lives, or gamma with beta emitters.

Transport dry waste to Bldg. 340. Radiation Safety Officer, or designee, will arrange for final packaging.

Radiowaste storane facility - packaging instructions for radiation safety personnel:

When dry waste arrives at Bldg. 340, monitor for surface activity, and compress material in' compactor. Obtain information from lab re isotope, amount, and dates generated.

Place compacted material in 55-gal barrel lined with 4 mil plastic drum

(

liner. Record isotope, amount, date, and lab. After container is filled, seal plastic liner with a bag tie, or tape. Label barrel with radioactive j

white or yellow label, as appropriate for contents. Log contents and i

number the barrel. Monitor barrel and record findings.

k'ASTE LIQUID SCINTILI). TION COUNTING VIALO Definition:

Consists of vials containing or having contained solutions used in liquid scintillation counters. Vials must not contain more than 30 uCi/ml of liquid if isotope is of transport Group III or IV (H-3 6 I-125, ~ for example).

Lab handling: Store vials in original shipping trays in shipping cartons.

Do not accumulate more than 2 cartons (1,000 vials) in the lab at any time. Label and log radioisotope, amount, and date.

Transport to Bldg. 346 for disposal.

Radiowaste storage facility - handling instructions for radiation safety personnel for packaging of scintillation vials 1.

Container must be DOT approved 17H drum, either 30 gallon or 55 gallon.

2.

Container must be line'd with double 4 mil plastic liner and sealed at the top when container is packed.

3.

Place approximately 3" of absorbent at the bottom of the container.

Vials and absorbent must be placed in the container in layers not exceeding 6" in depth. Between each layer, at least 1" of absorbent must be placed.

The top layer must be approximately 3" of absorbent.

4.

The vials are not to be opened.

5.

The container must be filled with a two-to-one ratio of absorbent

~.' -

to liquid in the vials.

6.

Approved absorbents are:

Perlite (medium grade)

Diatomaceus earth (medium grade)

Super Fine (Diatomite)

BIOLOGICAL RADIOACTIVE WASTE Definition: Consists of animal matter, limited to carcasses and excreta. As of this date (11-26-79), no waste repository is accepting this type of waste.

Lab handling:

It is suggested that labs refrain from production of such wastes until packaging, transportation, and disposal procedures are approved.*

.-- :9 Radiovaste storage facility - handling instructions for radiation safety personnel Waste of this nature will not be accepted in Bldg. 346 without the approval of the Radiation Safety Officer.

  • In the event that national waste repositories re-open, it is expected that carcasses will be packaged according to the following protocol:

1.

Container must be a DOT approved doubic wall 30 gallon size inside 55 gallon.

2.

Line 30 gallon drum with 4 mil plastic liner.

3.

Place animal carcasses into 30 gallon drum with absorbent and lime.

Ratio: One part lime to 10-parts absorbent.

4.

Seal plastic liner and 30 gallon drum.

5.

Place inside 55 gallon drum.

c4sg 6.

Place absorbent between walls of 30 gallon drum and 55 gallon drum.

7.

Seal 55 gallon drum.

8.

Approved absorbents are:

Perlite (medium grade)

Diatomaceous earth (medium grade)

Super Fine (Diatomite)

LIQUID WASTES - ORGANIC Definition: Consists of solvents such as toluene, alcohol, etc., or mixtures with water. Disposal of this type of waste is under continuous investigation. There have been many rule changes.

Lab handling:

' ' 'O It is suggested that labs refrain from production of such vastes until the situation can be resolved.

It may be possible to evaporate organic phases, if the possibility of entrainment of the radioactive component can be overcome.

Diatomaceous earths can be used under certain circumstances.

Contact Radiation Safety Officer if you are planning to produce radiowaste of this nature.

Radiovaste storage facility - handling instructions for radiation safety personnel Waste of this nature will not be accepted in BJdg. 346 without authorization from the Radiation Safety Officer.

LIQUID WASTE - AQUEOUS Definition: Consists of supernatants, counting specimens, and diluting or stock solutions. No organic solvent material is permitted.

Lab handling: Liquid wastes should be concentrated / reduced in volume prior to absorption on a suitable absorber (Pel-E-Cel), providing that there is no possibility of volatilization of the radioactive component during concentration. Segregate isotopes according

- :3 to table provided. Do not mix short and long-lived radio-isotopes, or gamma with beta emitters.

Store liquid wastes in lab in 1 qt, wide-mouth plastic jars with caps.

Do not fill more than half full with Pel-E-Cel.

Remember that one pint of Pel-E-Cel by volume is used to absorb one-half pint of liquid maximum. The remaining one pint space is for expansion.

Transport jars to Bldg. 346 for disposal packaging. Maintain a log for each jar,. indicating isotope, amount, and date.

Radiowaste storace facility - packaging instructions for radiation safety personnel for absorbed liquids:

1.

Container must be a DdT approved 17H drum, either 30 gallon or 55 gallon.

2.

Container must be lined with a double 4 mil plastic liner and sealed at the top when container is packed.

"X94 3.

Container must be filled with a two-to-one ratio of absorbent-to-liquid layered in approximately one-foot layers to ensure even dispersion.

4.

Approved absorbents are:
