I don't think there is a great deal of disagreement on that subject.
Most of the waste will wind up in the landfill anyway (possibly after
being held for decay). The problem is who determines that it is
short-lived...the landfill operator or the hospital where the patient
was treated? My preference would be for the hospital where
appropriately trained people deal with radioactivity on a day to day
basis.
