RE: liquid waste container suggestions

[Andrew Buchan <Andrew.Buchan@ehs.ucsb.edu>]

Thats really a pretty big hitch, we are after all going to have to ship 

these at some point. Do we really want to sacrifice that durability.

Also the structure is based on its fill level, I dont know that I want

my researchers trying to pour rad waste into a something that has little 

structural integrity unless its full. I have used those and often ended up 

spilling water, not something you want to do when pouring rad liquid waste.



anyone actually try these for rad waste?



Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone!



Andrew
