Radiation Detection for Decommissioning

Solutions to optimize safety, efficiency and compliance

Every job is different. From storage of a few radioactive sources in a small laboratory to a multi-reactor nuclear power plant, decommissioning projects come in a wide range of sizes and offer varying levels of complexity.

The goals are the same – minimize residual contamination and provide the highest levels of safety for workers, public and the environment during and after the decommissioning process.

Custom solutions

Every project is different with unique challenges to be conquered. With our across the board radiation detection expertise, we can offer custom solutions to overcome the specific scenarios presented at your project site. Reach out to our team for more information.

Ergonomics, safety and quality

Decommissioning can be a labor intensive and dirty job. Our solutions are focused on delivering high quality and ergonomic solutions to get employees in and out quickly.

  • Our handheld radiation meters require only one hand for operation and are self-contained in a single piece unit
  • Multiple types of radiation can be measured with one device
  • Field counting can be done in the situ, minimizing the need to send samples to the lab.

Remote monitoring

Thermo Scientific customizable solutions for real-time monitoring and data management:

HDI-Gemini-Sample-270x195
Complex scenarios

Many sites have more than just radiation to worry about. Chemicals, munitions and explosives may also be present. We offer a wide range of metal analyzers as well as chemical and explosive identification equipment.

  • Chemical Identification: Minimize time on target with the Gemini Analyzer.
  • Metal analyzers: Get lab-quality results with user-friendly portable analyzers—anywhere, anytime, under any condition.

 

A growing number of nuclear power plants are reaching the end of their lifetime, therefore their decommission is an increasingly important topic for governments, regulators, and industries. This report describes Thermo Fisher Scientific's solutions for nuclear power plant decommission projects.
