EMS IN ACTION

A recent project involved the successful evaluation of options for the disposition of more than one million pounds of slightly radioactive non-real property materials at two major facilities. The project included defining and analyzing alternatives, determining and proposing release limits, and coordinating with regulatory agencies including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Agreement States.

Recycling of Non-Real Property

Containing Residual Radioactivity

 

Reuse or recycle of non-real property containing residual radioactivity is gaining momentum within the nuclear industry and at many government facilities.  The practice however, requires unique qualification and experience not only with the recycling industry but also with all aspects of radiation protection, regulatory guidance, and proper determination of release limits and acceptable exposure levels to various receptors.

 

EMS’ uniquely qualified health physicists and toxicologists have worked on several projects that involved recycling of concrete and scrap metals.
