Safeguard your laboratory personnel and ensure regulatory compliance with Lucion’s thorough radiological contamination surveys, tailored to your facility’s unique needs.
Laboratories that work with radioactive materials face unique challenges in ensuring the safety of personnel and maintaining compliance with radiation protection regulations. Comprehensive radiological contamination surveys are essential for identifying and quantifying potential radiation hazards, allowing for effective risk management and decommissioning planning.
Lucion’s experienced team of radiation protection specialists provide tailored laboratory radiological survey services to meet the specific needs of research, healthcare, and industrial facilities.
Our holistic approach includes:
- Monitoring for radioactive sources and contamination
- Swabbing and wipe testing of surfaces, sink traps, and drainage areas
- Visual checks for labels, trefoils, equipment, and radioactive sources
- Assistance with decontamination processes, if needed
- Detailed reporting and documentation for regulatory compliance
Our surveys employ state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies to ensure accurate, reliable, and defensible results while minimising disruption to your laboratory operations. We work closely with you to develop a customised survey plan that considers the types of radioactive materials used, the work’s nature, and the applicable regulatory requirements.
Upon completion of the survey, we provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, including maps and data visualisations, and expert interpretation and recommendations for optimising your radiation protection arrangements. This report can be used to demonstrate that your laboratory has been returned to a satisfactory state, a key requirement for surrendering or partially surrendering your Unsealed Source or Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) Permit.
As an appointed Radioactive Waste Adviser (RWA), Lucion is fully accredited under the RPA2000 scheme and can formally ‘sign off’ on your survey report. By partnering with Lucion for your laboratory radiological contamination surveys, you can have confidence that your facility is safe, compliant, and well-positioned for decommissioning or redevelopment.
