Paul Kwan at New England Medical Center has
>>just received an estimate for disposing 1,000 mL of 5% uranyl acetate:
$7,000. The solidified waste will be embedded in concrete and buried
somewhere in Florida.<<
I'd suggest precipitating it as sodium uranyl sulfate, which is crystalline
and insoluble. Put the dried precipitate in a jar with a tight cap on it.
Choose a big enough jar that it won't be filled until the day after you
retire!
