Treatment of RIA waste

[farmerr@ccmail.orst.edu (Rainier Farmer)]

     Does anyone know of chemical treatment options for RIA waste 
     containing human blood?  The waste will contain uCi levels of 3H and 
     125I.  Autoclaving is not desirable since the RIA lab does not have an 
     autoclave in the same building.  I'm looking for a chemical treatment 
     that will render the waste non-infectious while not driving off 125I.  
     Both bleach and acid treatment have that downside.
     
     Thanks in advance for the help.
