Re: Radioactive waste bags

     Kent,
     
     I work at the Byron Nuclear Power Station.  We used to use clear rad 
     bags here but ran into foreign materials exclusion since the bags may 
     be hard to see in the fuel pool or refueling cavity.  
     
     The standard vendors we used for these bags were NPO (Nuclear Power 
     Outfitters) and Defensap (Defense Apparel).
     
     NPO's address is:
     P.O. Box 737 
     Crystal Lake, IL
     60039-0737
     
     Telephone:  (815) 455-3777
     Fax:        (708  658-6590
     
     I don't have Defensap's address handy but I hope this helps.

I am looking for a vendor who has clear radioactive waste bags (drum 
liners) with the radiation symbol and appropriate wording.  I have seen 
translucent yellow bags; however, this is not what I am seeking. 
     
     
Thank you in advance,

P.S.  The purpose is to see the contents so it can be visually inspected 
for unauthorized materials, e.g., sharps, lead pigs, radioactive labels 
on decayed waste, etc.
