The Challenge with Radioactive Waste
Disposing of radioactive waste can be a costly and time-consuming effort if not managed properly. In addition to logistical considerations, meeting compliance requirements of state and federal regulations can be a daunting task.
The first step toward bringing a program into compliance is identifying all types of radioactive waste. While some examples are obvious, such as contaminated rags and gloves, a full audit should be performed to verify and account for all streams.
Radioactive Waste Managed
We manage a wide variety of radioactive waste streams, including:
Dry active waste | Sealed sources and gauges | Sludge and Wet Waste |
Scintillation vials | Lab packs | Solvents or Corrosive Materials |
Mixed wastes | Metals | Oil and Gas Wastes |
Radioactive Compounds | Resins | Biological Waste |
Soils | Contaminated Equipment | TENORM |
