Dear Theo,
First
of all it is important to follow the waste management strategy of the Member
State. You have to ask Guidance from your Regulatory Authority. Here we can
discuss opinion. One example of a waste management strategy for countries
without nuclear programme (power reactor and fuel cycle), however with large use
of sources in industry, medicine and research, you can find in the following
IAEA TECDOC: Management of small quantities of radioactive waste, TECDOC
1041, September 1998. Look the figure 1. If such
strategy is applied in Greece, you should follow the recommendation, where
appropriate to short half life and to those < 100 d and they should be
disposed following storage to allow
for decay at clearance levels. If, to radionuclides <100d, the clearance
levels were not reached, you have only two alternatives. Store until Clearance
is reached or to send a Landfill Disposal. I suggest you also the
following TECDOC, directly at the point of your interest: Clearance of
materials resulting from the use of radionuclides in medicine, industry and
research, IAEA TECDOC 1000, February 1998. Jose Julio Rozental
