[ RadSafe ] information on international requirements for disposalof oilfield scale

[Roger Helbig]

This is an interesting question and one that might also tie in with the claims of DU contamination of Iraq .. what about the oilfield scale in the Mideast?

Thanks.

Does anyone know of any good reference material for the handling disposal  of 
oilfield scale around the world?  There was quite a good study published  by 
the EU, but this only covered Europe.  Does any one know of any  publications 
that provide details for other parts of the globe?  I  understand that many 
areas have oilfield scale which is much more radioactive  than that associated 
with the North Sea.  Consequently the handling/storage  and disposal issues 
must be more significant.
 
Any pointers would be appreciated.
