>> Dear Radsafers:
>> 
>> The Coast Guard is changing out approx. 50 radar installations across
>> the country over the next three years. In the old radar system is a 
"TR
>> Limitter" tube labeled with 12.5 mCi of H-3. The old radar system
>> manufacturers (Raytheon) have been contacted and they say that these
>> tubes should be sent the tube manufacturers (who are in Japan and
>> refuse to take them as well). 
>> 
>> The question is what should be the appropriate disposal facility: (1) 
LLW
>> repository, or (2) municipal solid waste landfill. I've gone through
>> 10CFR20 and the Health Physics Positions Database to no avail. Any 
help
>> that you can provide would be appreciated!
>> 
>> Sincerely,
>> 
>> Carey A. Johnston
