Disposal of NORM Wastes by Phosphate Fertilizer Producers

Hello Radsafers,



What is the current industry practice for the disposal of NORM waste (e.g. 

Ra-226 in filter cloths and pipe scale) at phosphate fertilizer 

facilities?  Is it standard practice to bury the waste on-site in the 

phosphogypsum stacks, or is this prohibited in some jurisdictions?
