Nondestructive Assay
Every decommissioning and demolition (D&D) site is different, which means decontamination and remediation methods are customized to meet site-specific safety and efficiency needs. If you are managing a D&D project involving piping or other inaccessible equipment, our specialized team of health physicists can help you detect and quantify the contaminated materials safely before proceeding with material removal. By using nondestructive assay (NDA) techniques and portable instrumentation, we provide on-site analyses without physically altering the contaminated equipment or compromising site safety.
Data collected using nondestructive assay techniques will answer questions regarding hold-up of uranium and other high-risk contaminants in piping, equipment, waste containers and other environmental media and building structures. A thorough NDA evaluation is essential to ensure proper disposition of waste materials, minimize the risk of worker health hazards, and most importantly eliminate the risk for criticality incidents.
