Another useful strategy in the management of radioactive

Another useful strategy in the management of radioactive refuse is the diminution of their production in medical facilities. This strategy should aim at lowering the quantities and activities of radioactive waste. A study carried out by Krieger, Van Baalen and Walters (109) reveals that reducing the volume of radioactive waste not only increases the efficiency of the management process but also lowers the overall costs incurred in waste treatment. The need to use radionuclides in the treatment of patients should be justified. Consequently, the lowest effective dose should be computed, and only the right quantities are obtained (Siegel 50).
