Welding Rods Containing Thorium

["Leo M. Lowe" <llowe@senes.ca>]

Hello,



Do welding rods that contain thorium have any special handling or waste 

disposal regulatory requirements because of their radioactivity, either in 

the US or Canada?  Are there any waste disposal exemptions for these rods?



Please feel free to respond to me directly.



Regards,



Leo M. Lowe, Ph.D., P.Phys.
