I'm facing with difficult problems related with radiactive waste 
disposal of non-radioactive departments, that is from interned patients 
who got some kind of radioisope mapping in the nuclear medicine 
department, and come back to their ward ( that is not considered a 
radioactive area).
My point is that I don't intend to transform all the medical center in a 
big radioactive installation. 
I would like very much to get information from the radsafers on how they 
deal with these problems:
1- Is there a law regulating the radiactive waste from these patients?
2- Is it permitted to drop all their rejects into the normal waste?

Thanking you in advance

Sergio
