RE: Brachy source disposal?

[FOttino@aol.com]

Dear Radsafe Netters,

    Does anyone know of a good method of ridding ones self of Cs-137
brachytherapy sources;  selling the sources, giving them away or paying for
such a service?   The sources in question are 6 x 10 mg and 6 x 15 mg tube
sources, 10 x 10 mg heymen sources and 12 x 1 mg short, medium and long needle
sources.  Approximate assay date for the sources are early to mid 1980s.

Thanks,

Dear Rad Safers,

Is there a best way to sell, give away or pay to get rid of  Cs-137

(10 x  10 mg heymen sources) Assay dates approximately early to mid 1980s.

Thanks,
