RE: Rad Sources for Workshops
It may be illegal for a licensed entity to remove those sources, but
I have never seen anything, as a consumer, that tells me it is illegal.
Plus I have never seen anything , except maybe in small print (magnifying
glass size letters) that tells me, the consumer, that I need to do anything
except put the detector in the trash. So from a consumer standpoint, it
matters not whether I throw the source in the trash while it is in the
detector or after I have removed the source from the detector. Personally I
don't believe ANY member of the general population has eve heard of
HPPOS-150.
Just an attempt at being real in a strange world.
I don't believe it's legal to take the source out of a smoke detector -
part of the general license requirements.
1. An intact smoke detector can, with some exceptions, be disposed of in
household trash. (See HPPOS-150, "Disposal Requirements for Specific and
Exempt Licensed Smoke Detectors.")
2. A smoke detector source that has been removed from a smoke detector is
potential TRU waste.
