Need suggestions for disposal of tritium targets

[Steve Dewalt <sdewalt@mrcll.com>]

Hello,

I have a need to dispose of several used tritium targets.  These targets 
are used in our Neutron Generator, have an activity of approximately 8 Ci 
each new, and are in the form of 1.5 inch diameter stainless steel 
disks.  After use they are less than 8 Ci, but as suggested from the 
manufacturer, I should treat them as the full 8 Ci for disposal 
purposes.  This waste stream will be continuous.

Do you know of any hazardous waste disposal brokers?

Thanks in advance.
