(1) A licensee
shall hold radioactive material with a physical half life of less than 120 days
for decay in storage before disposal as ordinary trash. A licensee is exempt
from the requirements of paragraph
64E-5.331(1)(c),
F.A.C., of these regulations if:
(a) The
radioactive material is held for decay a minimum of 10 half-lives;
(b) The radioactive material is monitored at
the container surface before disposal as ordinary trash and its radioactivity
cannot be distinguished from the background radiation level in a low background
radiation area with a radiation survey instrument set on its most sensitive
scale and with no interposed shielding;
(c) All radiation labels are removed or
obliterated; and,
(d) Each
generator column is separated and monitored individually with all radiation
shielding removed to ensure that its contents have decayed to background
radiation levels before disposal.
(2) The licensee shall retain a record of
each disposal for 3 years. The record shall include:
(a) The date of the disposal;
(b) The date on which the radioactive
material was placed in storage;
(c)
The radionuclides disposed;
(d) The
model and serial number of the radiation survey instrument used;
(e) The background dose rate;
(f) The radiation dose rate measured at the
surface of each waste container; and,
(g) The name of the individual who performed
the disposal.
