The piece of
equipment I was scanned by had spent [its] working life
surrounded by radioactive material. Admittedly in lead containers.
but even so, I suspect the hospital would be wary of disposing of it
to a memeber of the public.
Why? Radiation is like light - shine a flashlight at
something
(non-phosphoric, pedants! ;) and it doesn't continue glowing. Things
that have been exposed to radiation don't radiate.
