Dave Warren:
I need some good industry practices on release of contaminated concrete from a FUSRAP facility.

Any experts out there?

Hmm seems to be a contradiction of terms  ;D

If its contaminated it ain't releasable its LSA-I to good old Utah.

Some facilities in some states allow what's called landfarming low level rubble or resins etc.

See.  We can help others.  This is a great example of the site users helping each other.

I used to get a lot of emails about how the site was helping them.  I don't get some many these days.  Either I'm not helping people, or they are just taking us for granted.  I hope they are just taking us for granted.

We used an Exploranium meter to free release bulk rubble for the decommisioning of Millstone 1.  It is a company out of Canada.  You set the meter by the pile of rubble, preset a time and then walk away as it will regester the K-40 in your body if you stand by it.

Dave Warren:
We are looking into just tossing it in a railcar and sending it to US Ecology.

We are looking at crushing it and sending it through the Mactec whamodyne sorter.

We are looking at scabbling the outside and releasing the rest of it as clean.
