Abstract
Medical and educational institutions generate large amounts of solid radwaste from biomedical tracer research. It is currently shipped to a commercial low-level waste site in the form of paper, plastic and glass contaminated principally with 3H, 14C and 125I (MSLC85). This waste stream could also be deregulated as are other forms of radwaste, for example, 3H and 14C liquid scintillation fluids. Incineration of this proposed deregulated, solid, low-level radwaste in concentrations comparable to currently deregulated radwaste would pose minimal risk to the occupants near these incinerators.
