EDTA Decontaminating Solution, for Radium

Features:

• Targeted Radionuclide Removal: Specifically formulated to address Radium, but also effective for scavenging other harmful isotopes like Uranium, Strontium, and Cobalt-60.
• High Decontamination Factor: Chemical chelation ensures that radionuclides remain bound in the liquid phase, significantly reducing the risk of redeposition on the cleaned surface.
• Surface Compatibility: Safe for use on a wide variety of laboratory materials, including zircaloy cladding, inconel, and common benchtop surfaces.
• Time-Efficient Formula: Provides a fast-acting response to surface spills or routine decommissioning activities, helping to maintain ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) radiation levels.

Safety & Handling:

IMPORTANT! Non-Hazardous Base: The solution itself is categorized as non-hazardous under GHS standards; however, once it comes into contact with radionuclides, the resulting waste is radioactive.

• Personal Protection: Wear full radiologic PPE, including double gloves, a lab coat, and eye protection. Work in a specially prepared radiation-safe area.
• Storage: Store at room temperature (15°C-30°C) in its original poly bottle.
• Disposal: Strict Protocol Required. Mobilized radionuclides in the spent solution pose serious environmental risks. Follow all facility, state, and federal regulations for the disposal of radioactive liquid waste.
