Liquid Scintillation Vial Processing Previous   Next We're now in our Liquid Scintillation Vial (LSV) processing area. We began treating LSV's in 1983 and have developed a state-of-the-art process with which we treat an estimated 80% of the nation's LSV waste. LSV's are generated primarily by universities, biotechnical companies, and hospitals, and contain low level radioactive materials and flammable constituents. Below left is the LSV processing equipment. Arriving as capped plastic or glass vials (photos to right), they pass through our unique process system and are size-reduced and cleaned, resulting in a shredded, safe material (lower right).
