Natural radioactivty waste in ground water treatment plants

["Dr. Khalid Aleissa" <kaleissa@kacst.edu.sa>]

Hello all Radsafers

I need to know if there are any national guideline limits for natural

radionuclides in the waste from ground water treatment plants. That is,

when a certain specific radioactivity in these wastes exceeds it the

waste is considered radioactive. And if some what are the method of

disposals? WHy Po-210 or Pb-210 is not a concern in drinking water?



Thanks
