Autoclaving I-125 waste

[Eric Boeldt <ejb6@psu.edu>]

        Has anyone out there had experience autoclaving the waste from I-125
kits?
        Specifically, in your experience:
                What sort of plastic autoclave bags do you use?     Regular
or  special?
                Does the autoclave get contaminated? 
                How much I-125 comes off in the steam?     0,   10%,    or  ?
                Do you have any other words of warning?

Thanks in advanve,  the  usual disclaimers apply.
