INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL
8.1
Disposal
By international regulations, radioactive materials that are no longer required must be transferred to a
licensed recipient for final disposition. Cobalt-60 source assemblies that have depleted beyond their
useful working life may be returned to authorized recipients using a source changer authorized for the
specific model source assembly.
Authorized recipients will provide any specific conditions to the shipper as required by regulatory
authorities. As a minimum, sources that are transferred for a final disposition must be within a current leak
test and properly secured within an authorized package before shipment.
Damaged, cropped, modified or contaminated source assemblies may require special handling and
special transport containers. Notify the authorized recipient for specific instructions in these
circumstances.
Depleted Uranium (DU) shielded exposure devices that are removed from service due to severe damage,
worn through ‘S’ tubes or decommissioning reasons must be sent to a licensed recipient for final
disposition. If the Type B transport status of a damaged exposure device is impaired, the exposure device
must be transported without radioactive source assemblies. DU shielded exposure devices sent for final
disposition must be properly packaged, surveyed, marked and labeled before placement into the
transportation system.
