The CRBs are "Class C". The ratio of Co-60 to Ni-63 is ~10 to 1. Nb-94 is also a contributing factor to class.

I am working on a project to process and dispose of some control rod blades from an BWR. Can anyone tell me what the waste classification of the blades are? I'm sure the classification depends on the length of irradiation since the limiting nuclide seems to be Ni-63. If you could tell me the ratio of Co-60 to Ni-63 in your blade(s) that would be a great help.
