Overview
Components and equipment at nuclear facilities can become contaminated during operation. This is not generally an issue while they are operating but if they need servicing, refurbishment or disposal, there is the potential to expose workers to radiation and the possibility that contamination could spread. Decontaminating the equipment before starting work on the maintenance is often a safe and cost-effective way to work reduce harms and risk.
Our subject matter experts, with their decades of nuclear experience, can determine how best to decontaminate your components and can either perform turn-key decontamination and refurbishment of components or provide radiation protection oversight for your staff to complete the refurbishment work in our facility.
Our dedicated licensed facility was designed for this decontamination work. It is a large, open workspace where significantly sized equipment can be worked on in a safe and secure environment. Decontamination and refurbishments undertaken in this facility have included motors, pumps, components, nuclear packaging, vehicles, and tools.
