Radiation Assessment services
Ionactive provides a range of radiation safety assessment, monitoring and shielding design services. These are based on our knowledge and experience obtained over many years of working with a diverse range ionising radiation sources.
Radiation assessments include:
- Statutory wipe (leak) test of radioactive sources
- Workplace and environmental radiation and contamination monitoring
- Best Practical Means (BPM) / radiological assessment for radioactive materials and waste
- Critical examinations of x-ray equipment and equipment containing radioactive source
- Linear accelerator (etc) radiation shielding calculations and design
- REPPIR assessments
