Radioactive Waste Management and Disposal Services

The Radiation Safety Academy is uniquely qualified to review or prepare a radioactive waste management program for your organization. Our staff has years of experience overseeing programs to manage the acquisition, inventory, and disposal of radioactive materials for licensees. We have experience supervising employees involved in these activities. Our staff has prepared and reviewed numerous reports summarizing activities related to the radioactive waste and radioactive materials acquisition, processing and delivery programs and ensuring that these reports are technically correct and well documented.

Academy staff have been involved in overseeing radioactive and mixed waste contracts which exceeded $4 million per year and radioactive materials acquisition programs which were approximately $5 million per year. Our staff assured compliance with radioactive and mixed waste disposal regulations and policies, and maintained required radioactive waste disposal records. We reviewed radioactive and mixed waste manifests and inspected shipments of radioactive and mixed wastes to and from government facilities. We developed the technical requirements for the chemical, radioactive and mixed waste service contracts and oversaw the establishment of radioactive waste minimization programs. We have experience in planning the development of computer databases to help manage all radioactive waste and radioactive materials received and disposed.

The Academy can arrange for waste pickup, transportation, and disposal using appropriately licensed vendors and transporters. We maintain active partnerships with a number of companies that specialize in the collection, processing, and final disposal of radioactive, hazardous, and special medical wastes. We can provide waste disposal containers appropriate for your operations.
