[ RadSafe ] Disposal via Decay in Storage

[John R Johnson]

Cary et al

I don't know the reg's in the US, but in Canada the criteria is based on the
concentration, and Tc-99 would have to be considered.

It's concentration would be a factor of 6.O hrs/0.212000 x10^6 lower.

Quick question:

Is Tc-99m a candidate for disposal via
decay-in-storage?

If so, what would be a acceptable method for
monitoring the decayed material prior to release?

Thanks for any info.
Cary
