Résumé
A strategy for management of radioactive waste associated with Lu-dotatate (Lutathera®) treatments was established in our institution, based on predicted storage times of 3-5 years extrapolated from the results of a 2-year measurement study. The aim of this work was to validate this strategy by identifying contaminants and confirming disposal based on the clearance level twice-the-background was within expected time frames.
