The Radioactive Waste Analytics and Disposal Process Experts

Innovating The Future

In the field of waste management, the practices related to the characterization of low-level radioactive waste (LILW) have remained largely unchanged over the past thirty years. Typically, nuclear facilities collect waste samples after generation, send them to a laboratory for analysis, and then proceed to classify and characterize the waste based on the results. Packaging and shipping decisions are subsequently made based on this characterization, and disposal sites are selected accordingly. The associated costs follow suit. However, what if there was a way to break this cycle? What if waste characterization could happen beffore the waste even reaches the disposal container? Imagine having knowledge of the isotopes and activity levels while the waste is being generated. With this information at hand, decisions could be made regarding the duration of filtration media usage, appropriate mixing options, container and transportation package requirements, and, most importantly, the overall cost. Embrace waste management in the 21st century with our expert guidance.
