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.
