I am honored at the mention. Thank you very much. Some of your recommendations are in practice in Los Angeles, California. They utilize, I believe, steam sterilization.

I’m uncertain of the length of time for sterilization, but at least one facility cooks the waste under 50 PSI and 300 degree steam.

Radioactive waste contaminated by COVID is a separate beast entirely. My guess is that it’s transported to some radwaste facilities and buried. It’s just a guess though. General rad waste goes to similar facilities where I work, but I am uncertain how it gets handled after adding the moniker biohazard.

Have a great day and thank you for your article.
