Select reagents and procedures that minimize the volume and toxicity of all wastes.

If feasible, design
experiments in such a way that radioactive wastes are generated separately from chemically or
biologically hazardous wastes

Avoid ordering radioactive materials in quantities that exceed your intended usage

Non-radioactive wastes must never be mixed with radioactive wastes. Failure to do this significantly
increases the volume of wastes

Non-radioactive tracers and methods are available for many common assays, and procedures used in
biomedical

Substitute with Short-lived Radionuclides where feasible

Reduce the activity and volumes of materials used in the experiment to decrease the amount of wastes
generated

Replace hazardous chemical solvents with formulations not regulated as hazardous or mixed wastes

Limit the number of users of radioactive materials

Limit the number of areas where radioactive materials are used

Resentence.....

-Controlling the number of areas wherever radioactive materials are in used.

-Choose chemicals which contains lower volume of toxicity of all wastes and practice experiment which
radioactive wastes can separately from biologically hazardous wastes.

-Practice of substituting with short-lived Radionuclides
