Monsanto 1 AbstractAn improved method for packaging tritiated waste liquids for burial is described and evaluated. The packaging procedure virtually eliminates tritium exposures to personnel and the environment. The package is shown to be more than adequate for burial of tritiated liquid wastes. Calculations based on tests of the package indicate that the maximum tritium released during 85 yr (seven half-lives of tritium) burial would be 0.002% of the total tritium contained in the package or approximately 1.6 Ci from the 70,000 Ci (recommended maximum) package.
