Description
After a review of radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine, the problem of radioactive waste disposal is examined. Sewage disposal for urine containing technetium 99 m, storage of wastes for radioactive decay before disposal or incineration, filtration for iodine and xenon 133 and collection for processing in a specialized center
