Tritium solid waste is placed in which container?

• A. Waste bag or sealed white pail
• B. Reusable tote
• C. Open bucket
• D. Glass jar

Answer: (A)

Tritium solid waste is handled with containment that prevents leakage and keeps the waste traceable. A waste bag is suitable for small amounts, while a sealed white pail provides a stronger, leak-tight container for larger amounts. These options are designed for regulated waste, easy labeling, and safe transport within the facility. Other containers lack a secure lid or are not appropriate for regulated radioactive waste; an open bucket risks leakage and contamination, a glass jar can break, and a reusable tote isn’t the approved sealed containment for this waste stream. So the proper choice is a waste bag or sealed white pail.
