Environmental Assessments and Health Physics Fact Sheet (PDF, 866 KB)
The Value of Independence, an ORAU white paper on the independent verification component of DOE Order 458.1.
Whether your project requires the cleanup of a site, a facility, or equipment contaminated with nuclear materials, your business needs to be able to rely on a respected, objective organization to ensure that remediation plans adequately assess radiological conditions.
ORAU has performed independent environmental assessments and verification for federal and state agencies for more than 25 years. We partner with cleanup agencies to provide objective, independent surveillance of decontamination and decommissioning efforts.
We are also nationally recognized for our radiation safety training and offer a full range of health physics capabilities that can help you protect your workers, the public, and the environment from potential radiation dangers.
