RE: I-131 treatment rooms
Actually, it's probably not a bad idea/requirement. The sewer line is
isolated from other non-radioactive sewer lines and will help prevent
contamination problems during sewer line maintenance in other parts of the
hospital (I've seen sewer line snakes go where no one thought they would).
Additionally, any back-up of sewage (I imagine this occasionally happens at
hospitals) will be restricted to the treatment room.
Just my thoughts,
