Solidification of rad waste

["Patrick McDermott" <mcdermot@HELEN.RUTGERS.EDU>]

Radsafers,

Hopefully some of you can help.  A few years ago we solidified some 
uranyl acetates and nitrates for disposal at barnwell.  We used DCM 
waste packs.  Delaware Custom Material, inc. was the company that we 
bought the solidification kits from and the owner provided us with 
guidance on the use of the kits and some chemistry questions.  They 
were out of Milesburg PA.  I haven't been able to track them down.  
They may be out of business.  Does anyone know the whereabouts of DCM 
or have any suggestions on how to dispose of this waste?  I know that 
these are NORM wastes (or is it NARM?) but we do not have anywhere 
near the volume to consider Envirocare.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please send replies to my 
e-mail address unless others may be interested.
