This paper discusses the key findings from American Water Works Association ResearchFoundation (AwwaRF) project 2695, Management of the Disposal of Radioactive Residuals fromDrinking Water Treatment, particularly with respect to radium removal. For each of the majorradium removal technologies that are either in use or anticipated to be in use for treatingradionuclides, flow chart guidance was developed to assist utilities in developing optimal disposalmethods for these residuals. Additionally, incidental removal radionuclides that may pose disposalconcerns are also addressed. In general, the research indicated that therewere no significant disposal issues or concerns associated with these residuals, and it wasrecommended that utilities take sufficient precautionary steps to document their practices. Includes table, figures.
