All radiation labels shall be removed or obliterated.

C. A record of each such disposal permitted under this License Condition shall be retained for three years. The record must include the date of disposal, the date on which the byproduct material was placed in storage, the radionuclides disposed, the survey instrument used, the background dose rate, the dose rate measure:: at the surface of each waste container, and the name of the individual who performed the disposal.
