Sulfur polymer cement shows promise as an encapsulation and stabilization agent for use with low level radioactive and mixed wastes. Use of SPC allows accommodation of larger percentages of waste than PCC. As of this writing (1997), SPC-treated waste forms have met requirements of both the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

This rule varies from state to state. Some materials are exempt from Nuclear Regulatory Commission or State licensing requirements. Most institutions already have an institutional license which would specify the safety officer. It would be well for the clinical chemistry laboratory to check with this individual before beginning to use radioactive materials. If there is no license, many manufacturers of isotope materials will assist the laboratory in obtaining the proper license.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that the Federal Government be notified if more than 1 millicurie (3.7x10 Becquerels) of radioactivity from natural thorium is released into the environment. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued Maximum Permissible Concentrations (MPC) in air and water for workplace exposure to thorium. For more information on government regulations and guidelines, see Chapter 7. 

Removes actinides from acidic aqueous solutions to well below the 10 nanocuries per gram (nCi/g) Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) class A low-level transuranic waste requirements for disposal. 

Much of the discussion here stems from experience with quality control charts in the pharmaceutical industry. For the use of quality control charts in other industries, the following requirement established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission [1] may be useful. 

Because radium is a radioactive substance, disposal of wastes containing radium is controlled by a number of federal and state regulations (see Chapter 7). Both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have promulgated regulations for land disposal of these wastes detailing containment requirements and permissible exposure levels based on radioactivity.

When this kind of PSA study is developed, wherein top event quantification, sensitivity analysis and dynamic management of the proposed systems are required, the complexity of data processing and calculations requires the use of appropriate software, such as the processing PSA package Saphire 6.0, developed by Idaho National Laboratory for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of the United States and which is used in this work (Smith, 2005).
