David, From a chemical compatibility standpoint… glass, high density polyethylene (HDPE), and polypropylene (PP) and carbon steel are all rated excellent for use with pyridine. Nalgene bottles made of HDPE or PP are available. Also, I assume for shipping purposes they would lab pack a two liter volume so you could also check with your waste vendor and ask them.

Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 9:07 AM To: DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**MED.CORNELL.EDU Subject: [DCHAS-L] Pyridine Good Morning, Can you recommend a container for storing Pyridine Waste that will be appropriate for shipping for offsite disposition? I’m looking for something in the 2L range—analysis requires very small amounts and disposition would probably be annually. Thanks for your help. David H.

Appreciate the help!! Also – if you want some fun – look at the Solandra publicity shots with Obama – the workers are in hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, and tyvex suits. He is in a suit – that’s it.

For example, for the cryogens and dry ice fact sheet (http://www.osha.gov/Publications/laboratory/OSHAquickfacts-lab-safety-cryogens-dryice.pdf) they show a person with no eye/face protection even though the fact sheet says: Always use a face shield in conjunction with safety glasses or goggles. You would think they wouldn't make that mistake...... -Cathy ________________________________ This message is intended only for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and contains information that is proprietary to Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc., a subsidiary of The Babcock & Wilcox Company, and/or its affiliates, or may be otherwise confidential.
