ABSTRACT:
A low-level radiation waste management system collects low-level radiation wastes in hospitals, etc. The system includes a cylindrical fiberboard receptacle and a receptacle liner which is deployed in the barrel and has its upper marginal edge everted over the side of the barrel. A cover including a depending skirt is removably positioned covering the top of the barrel the skirt surrounding the upper portion of the barrel and the everted liner. The receptacle liner and cover are fabricated of radiation shielding material, e.g. panels vinyl encapsulated lead with vinyl outer sheeting dielectrically welded together. After wastes have been collected, the cover is placed in the receptacle liner over the wastes, and the everted portion of the receptacle liner is pulled up and, gathered and tied. This portion of the receptacle liner is uncontaminated. The receptacle liner with the cover and wastes inside may be transported to a disposal site and buried.
