Environmental Assessments and Health Physics Publications

ORAU Contributes Expertise to Industry Standards and Publications

ORAU Surveys

Oak Ridge Associated Universities’ (ORAU) reputation in the field of independent environmental assessment and verification results from more than 25 years of experience in radiological detection and analysis.

Earning a strong reputation takes hard work and practice, and the experts at ORAU have helped the organization become a leader in the field by frequently providing assistance in the development of publications that detail the proper procedures for performing radiological surveys and laboratory analyses.

Laboratory Procedures Manual

Our radiochemistry laboratory staff perform analyses using the highest standards and continually evaluate analytical results for accuracy and precision.

Quality Program Manual

Providing exceptional quality services is our top priority. Our methodology for performance of work processes and the associated Integrated Safety Management requirements are an integral part of what we do.

Survey Procedures Manual

Our Survey Procedures Manual provides a standardized set of procedures that are applicable to U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission operations.

Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM)

ORAU maintained an instrumental role in the development of this multi-agency standardized approach to implementing radiological surveys, including training development.

MARSSIM Resources

Find a list of additional MARSSIM presentations and reports, which demonstrate how we contributed to the development of this radiological survey standard.

Standards Development

Our knowledge and experience is routinely requested in the development of technical standards and guidelines.
