     After looking in to specialty bags I found that it was best to make 
     due with standard bags due to the excessive cost of specialty bags.  
     Several companies make 4-mil poly bags in clear which would suffice 
     for your purpose.  You could use stickers, tags, or other such labels 
     to identify the contents as radioactive.  Also it would be easier to 
     remove a tag or sticker from the bag when it came time to landfill, 
     after being decayed.
