Radiological and environmental

Radiological and environmental protection is essential to reduce and manage the impact on the public, workers and the surrounding environment.

We provide a full range of services that include:

Radiological protection advice

From designing systems to the provision of Radiation Protection Advisors (RPA), Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) training for customers and approved dosimetry for personnel.

Waste characterisation and management

• Cost-effective techniques such as on-site gamma spectrometry measurement that dramatically cuts analysis times by immediately providing qualitative and quantitative data.
• Monitoring and subsequent clean-up of any contaminated land.

Environmental analysis

We provide consultancy and analysis on environmental management, including land remediation on contaminated land.

Where on-site analysis is unsuitable, we provide analysis in our in-house laboratories, recognised as one of the largest UKAS-accredited commercial radiochemistry laboratories in the UK.
