Waste Types
- Dry Active Waste: Solid radioactive waste, such as contaminated personal protective gloves, absorbent paper or lab ware.
- Uranium / Thorium Compounds: Various compounds containing naturally occurring uranium or thorium, such as uranyl acetate. We often collect these materials from educational facilities, labs and hospitals.
- Liquid Scintillation Vials: Liquid scintillation (LS) vials containing hazardous or non-hazardous scintillation media. We have disposal outlets for all types of waste from scintillation counting.
- Bulk Liquid Scintillation Fluid: Bulk (drum quantity) scintillation fluids can be segregated by hazard type and/or radioactive constituency to provide cost effective disposal options.
- Aqueous Liquids: Water-based liquid waste, like contaminated buffers, can be bulked for off-site disposal or analyzed for on-site disposal options.
- Animal Carcasses and Bedding: Waste from animal research protocols. Clym has multiple processing and disposal options for short and long-lived animal waste.
- Sealed Sources: Concentrated sources of radioactivity as calibration or reference standard or generally licensed sources such as electron capture detectors, flood sources or density gauges.
- NORM: Naturally occurring radioactive materials such as depleted uranium, manufactured articles containing radium or other waste with higher concentrations of NORM.
- Metals: Activated or radioactively contaminated metals can be shipped for beneficial reuse, decontamination or disposal.
- Mixed Waste: Multi-hazard waste or mixed waste can be profiled and priced for disposal based on volumes, constituencies and concentrations.
