Disposal of Radioactive Material
Not only does the disposal of redundant radioactive material inflict legal and financial obligations on the source owner, but it also conveys a multitude of practical challenges due to the potential health, environmental and safety risks involved. Some of the key complexities include the following:
-
Management of radiation hazard in relation to the type of the radioactive source and its chemical and physical properties; -
Management of transport risks to man and to the environment during source movement;
-
Compliance to the regulatory framework and litigations;
-
Acceptance of radioactive waste or disused sources by recipient or disposal facility;
-
Technological and engineering challenges related to decommissioning and packaging of radioactive sources;
-
Fund allocation to cover the cost of the entire process.
Streamlined Disposal Pathways
By managing the entire process of radioactive waste disposal, Array Radiation Solutions helps organizations overcome the complexities of regulatory requirements and logistical challenges. This is achieved by handling the entire disposal process starting from regulatory approvals to waste characterisation, transportation, delivery to disposal facility and final clearance. We actively work with national and international disposal and recycling facilities to find the most convenient and economic solution of obsolete radioactive material.
