Different types of radioactive waste include:
- Solid waste
- Liquid waste
- Liquid scintillation counting wastes
- Mixed waste (waste that is both radioactive and chemically hazardous i.e. Uranium acetate)
- Uranium and thorium wastes.
All these different forms of waste need to be separated into their respective containers. Radioactive waste must also be segregated by half-life (such as long-lived versus short-lived isotopes). Every time you dispose of radioactive materials you must fill out the log sheet attached to the radioactive waste container. Once the container is full continue onto the Waste Pick-up Request form to submit a pick up.
