survey meter set on its most sensitive scale and with no interposed 
shielding; and
    (2) Removes or obliterates all radiation labels, except for 
radiation labels on materials that are within containers and that will 
be managed as biomedical waste after they have been released from the 
licensee.
    (b) A licensee shall retain a record of each disposal permitted 
under paragraph (a) of this section in accordance with Sec. 35.2092.
