Re: Quench standards,

["Jerry Wiza" <ramservices@lsol.net>]

All the sets are almost certainly de-regulated scintillation media which can
be disposed as "... if they were not radioactive". [10CFR20.2005].  You can
either re-count them to verify that the activity is below the 0.05
microcurie per gram  limit, or calculate the decayed activity of the H-3
standards.  Sets that old may be toluene, xylene, or pseudocumene based, and
may have to be disposed as hazardous chemical waste.
