Radioactive Material Management

Sealed radioactive sources are used widely in medicine, industry, and agriculture.

They consist of radioactive material that is encased in a capsule or bonded in a solid form to prevent the radioactive material from escaping or being released accidentally.

Sealed sources are integral to several processes:

• Calibration sources for radioactive measuring equipment
• Irradiators used to sterilize food and medical equipment
• Mapping underground sources of water
• Well logging in the exploration of oil & gas and other natural resources
• Analytical equipment, such as gas chromatographs and liquid scintillation counters
• Measurements of flow, density, moisture, and tank levels
