Abstract

The disposal of waste oils containing measurable quantities of radioactive material is expensive and has become more difficult due to the mixed waste issue. In this study, sources, volumes, characteristics, and treatment and disposal practices for waste oils in the nuclear power industry are surveyed, and a recommended approach to utility oil decontamination is developed. 10 refs., 1 fig., 8 tabs.
