Waste
Radioactive waste should be properly stored and secured in laboratories. Waste needs to be stored in leak proof storage containers or bags. The outside of the containers should be free from contamination. The waste should be labeled:
- Caution Radioactive Material
- Isotope (If you have any questions about isotopes used at ETSU, please contact the
Radiation Safety Department.)
Activity - Date of collection
- Volume of liquid
- P.I. name
If you are collecting radioactive liquid waste, please document what else is in the liquid that is not radioactive. Do not put solids in liquid waste containers.
Contact Radiation Safety or submit the Radioactive Waste Pickup Form when you have waste that is ready for pick-up.
