Radiation Advisory & Consultation
Protecting workers and the public from unnecessary radiation exposure is a legal obligation. We develop your radiation protection programme with you, including risk assessment and the annual audit, against Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission requirements and international standards, and support new-licence and renewal applications.
Consultancy methodology
Risk assessment
Determining the applicable regulatory requirements and the radiation risks present at the facility.
Solution design
Identifying the required measures and how to integrate them into the facility's operations.
Programme development
Establishing a radiation-protection programme that handles complex compliance issues and manages radiation incidents and risks.
Annual audit
An annual review of the programme to confirm it remains effective and efficient in meeting the legal requirements.
Documented deliverables
Risk assessment
A document identifying exposure sources and the risk attached to each activity.
Radiation-protection programme
A written programme covering compliance, incident management and risk.
Audit report
An annual report on the programme's effectiveness and what needs correcting.
Sector-specific requirements
Industry
Factories, industrial radiography sites and nucleonic gauges — a full protection programme with periodic audit.
Healthcare
Radiology and nuclear-medicine departments — the regulatory requirements and staff dose monitoring.
Oil and gas
Facilities where naturally occurring radioactive material concentrates, and in-line nucleonic measurement systems on processing lines.
Research and education
Universities and research centres operating radioactive sources or radiation-generating equipment.
