Check with Kathleen Kaufman, Director of Radiation Management for Los 
Angeles County.  She gave a paper on this, as I recall, a couple of years 
ago at the CRCPD annual meeting in San Antonio, and this is  where I'd 
start.  A/C 213 738-4059; fax 213 380-5630; voice mail 213 738-4098.  I 
suspect most states do not have regulations covering cremation.......yet. 
 It's one of those back-burner items.  Most folks don't like to think about 
it, I think.

Does anyone know of state law or rules governing the cremation of 
individuals
containing long lived nuclides. If so what state and what are the rules?
