Get expert advice on ionising radiation for industrial applications, including measurement using X-rays and radioactive sources.

Radiation consulting services support companies that work with ionising radiation in industrial settings. This includes the use of X-rays and radioactive sources, including applications related to measurement tasks.  

 

Industrial radiation consulting across applications 

Unresolved aspects related to radiation protection, contamination, lost sources, the handling of open and closed radioactive sources, as well as regulatory questions can create uncertainty about safe operation.

Challenges

When ionising radiation is used in industrial applications, unclear conditions can create uncertainty in the workplace.

Difficult assessment of ionising radiation 

Ionising radiation can be a difficult concept and its immediate significance in individual, industrial contexts can be unclear without guidance. 

Lack of consistency in measurement and monitoring 

If dose levels, contamination or radiation levels are not measured or interpreted consistently, the actual conditions remain unclear. 

 

Variation in monitoring requirements 

Different situations, such as suspected contamination, measurement tasks or locating lost sources, require different approaches to radiation measurement and monitoring. Uncertainty about the appropriate monitoring approach can limit understanding of the situation. 

Benefits

Get advice on radiation protection, measurement, monitoring, and regulatory aspects of ionising radiation

Understand radiation protection

Consulting covers radiation protection related to the use of X-rays and radioactive sources in industrial applications. This clarifies relevant safety aspects.

Obtain measurement and monitoring data

Measurement of doses, dose rates and contamination levels provides documented input for understanding situations involving ionising radiation.

Handle NORM and source-related aspects

Consulting covers safety aspects of NORM and selected regulatory aspects This includes how these materials are handled and understood in specific contexts.
