AB - Incineration of radioactive waste has been found to be an excellent method for reducing both the bulk and the handling problems associated with the use of animals in a research institution. A cost analysis has been made at the University of Rochester for the incineration of certain wastes as compared to the cost of land burial. In determining the feasibility of incineration for a radioisotope the major factors to be considered are the activity, half-life, and maximum permissible air concentration of the isotope and the size of the carcass in which it is incorporated. Comparative examples are given for several specific isotopes in use at this institution. Environmental factors are also considered.
