Abstract
A description is given of a small rotating drum incinerator designed for the quantitative ignition of a radionuclide whose combustion product is gaseous at normal temperature and pressure. Samples of the flue gases and mineral residues indicated that the system was safe for disposal of small animals containing microcurie amounts of radiocarbon. Flue gases from the special incinerator mix with those from a large municipal incinerator, and discharge through a chimney 150 feet high after the mixture passes through a wet fly ash collector.
