[Intl_DxMedPhys] Pluvicto Patient Waste Storage Timeframe

[Shane McCotter]

All,

I am interested in your thoughts regarding patient instructions for at-home waste storage before disposal.  I have recommended patients collect items (pads, diapers, etc.) for 5 days and store for 70 days before disposal, however, one of our AU's is requesting we remove the storage requirement allow patients to dispose of all materials without decay based on these studies (Link 1<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/64/10/1567__;!!KGKeukY!1AP1MpV5dSTwsgzAipPNSxW2zEFl5sw_yqZ2skGAqT1NFshsAMKGAjzkj7ufTPmG3lI5wa4IXl-WOO0efXaFYKbF29ysFbouyLBIGTA$ > & Link 2<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ovid.com/jnls/health-physics/fulltext/00004032-200203000-00009*radioactivity-appearing-at-landfills-in-household-trash-of__;fg!!KGKeukY!1AP1MpV5dSTwsgzAipPNSxW2zEFl5sw_yqZ2skGAqT1NFshsAMKGAjzkj7ufTPmG3lI5wa4IXl-WOO0efXaFYKbF29ysFbou5xnoIrg$ >) and discussions they have had with other AU's in NRC and agreement states.

I have reached out to a few other RSO's and institutions, and I have received answers to store items ranging from a few days to 70 days, and I am hoping to get a more definitive answer from the list.

Thank you,
