[ RadSafe ] Radioactive Waste Disposal from Medical Cyclotron

[Ruth Schukman-Dakotas]

Does anyone have guidance documents for disposal of long-lived
radioactive waste from the cyclotron production of radionuclides used in
PET?

Have you had the chemical waste from cleaning the targets analyzed for
radioactive content?  If so, what radionuclides have been identified?

Also, who do you use to dispose of your waste? Are you satisfied?  Any
issues?

If you've used Alaron or Bionomics, have you been satisfied?  What are
their strengths/weaknesses?
