Russ,
I agree with James’ recommendat ion to shop around. I have had very good success with using Bionomics as a v endor for disposal of low-level radioactive waste. They know their business and will help you with all of the paperwork.

Shop around too.
Try:
see who is trying to get a “milk run” together.
Reputation and technical knowledge is also important when selecting a broker.

Thorium and uranium compounds are considered “source material”, and are regulated under a general license fr om the NRC.
The two NRC links below will send you to the regulations.

http:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/part040/
If the material is only regulated as radioactive and does not have any other residual hazards (for example uranyl nitrate is also an oxidizer), then it should be fairly cheap to get rid of. You may want to contact Thomas Gray & Associates http://www.tgainc.com/ for disposal opt ions.
Sincerely,

salts
A local laboratory here has four bottles of thorium and
uranium salts they’d like to get rid of. Looking into it, I fou
nd it was
going to cost close to $4000 to transport and dispose of less than a pound
of material
at a facility in
My question is – what are other labs doing to di spose of this type of material? Is it possible to encase them in concrete or another inert material and dispose in a municipal system? Is there an yone recycling these salts? Any ideas?
Thanks….
