Our staff has years of experience dealing with both licensed processors and disposal sites. Our understanding of the processes used in the R&D industry provides an in depth understanding of radioactive waste management. This allows our staff to "think outside the container" to provide our clients with cost reductions that are not dependent on the "price per pound." Compacting waste reduces volumes and reduced transptoration costs to our cleints.
We find that looking at the upstream processes that generate radioactive wastes provide the best areas for improvement. Our knowledge with the methods available for treatment and disposal of R&D wastes allows us to recommend changes that are easily implemented and provide tangible benefit to both researchers and radiation protection personnel.
We will provide full documentation of each waste stream in a waste profile form so you can obtain the best competitive pricing from disposal sites or licensed waste brokers. This will eliminate the need to send multiple correspondence about a single waste container to your selected waste broker saving you time.
Mixed Waste Management
Our staff is as comfortable talking about chemical properties of waste as they are about nuclides and activities. We have in-depth experts in the field characterization of chemical and radiological constituents. Being able to document material does not meet the criteria for a mixed waste provides substantial benefit and cost savings. Our staff has characterized and consolidated thousands of containers of radioactive and mixed wastes in the field saving significant financial resources for clients.
We know that the difference between a $25K and $5k quote for treatment and disposal is how the waste profile information is documented and presented to the processors. We can assemble comprehensive waste profiles for mixed waste that clearly communicate the constituents and hazards inherent to the materials. This reduced the quote turn time and makes disposal pricing more competitive for the client.
