摘要

The issue of radioactive materials is one which most solid waste operators hope never to be faced with, and often, make every effort to avoid. Dealing with characterization and disposal of radioactive materials is typically expensive, time consuming and often frustrating for solid waste operators since it is well outside the scope of routine business. However, on occasion, unavoidable circumstances arise which leave an operator with little choice other than finding solutions to the problem of "orphaned" radioactive sources. This is especially true for city or county hazardous waste programs. While these programs are typically designed to manage household hazardous wastes such as paints, paint thinners, and household chemicals, they are often the first point of contact for members of the public who naturally equate radioactivity to hazardous materials. Further, in many cities and counties, there may be no agency more qualified or better equipped to deal with radioactive materials issues. The Larimer County Household Hazardous Waste program in Fort Collins, Colorado has had three occasions is the past four years where it has been called on to deal with orphan source issues. This paper describes the events surrounding the most recent and complex instance, and the actions taken to resolve the ptoblem.
