Re: Disposal of Cs-137 therapy source



Firstly, recycling is the preferred option, when it's possible, don't you
think? Secondly, most people routinely dispose of only Class A low-level
radwaste. A radiocesium therapeutic source is probably too high in specific
activity to qualify. You'd likely have to bury it in a bucket of Quikcrete,
or some other approved material, before placing it in the disposal drum.
