NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) Services

TQA offers specialized services for the management of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) to help industries address radiation risks associated with their operations. Our comprehensive NORM services are designed to meet the needs of sectors such as oil and gas, mining, and industrial facilities where NORM contamination can occur during extraction, production, and processing activities.

Our expertise covers the entire lifecycle of NORM management, including:

NORM Characterization and Monitoring

We conduct detailed in-situ assessments and sampling to identify and quantify NORM contamination in pipelines, vessels, equipment, and facilities. Our monitoring services include the use of state-of-the-art detection technology to ensure accurate measurement of radiation levels.

NORM Waste Management

We provide safe and compliant waste handling, including the collection, packaging, transportation, and disposal of NORM-contaminated materials. Our processes adhere to local and international regulatory standards, ensuring the safe treatment and disposal of radioactive waste.

NORM Decontamination and Remediation

TQA offers effective decontamination and remediation solutions to mitigate the impacts of NORM in industrial settings. We use specialized techniques to clean and restore equipment, facilities, and sites affected by NORM, minimizing environmental risks and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

Regulatory Compliance and Documentation

Our team ensures that all NORM-related activities comply with national and international radiation protection guidelines. We provide detailed documentation, reporting, and certification to support your regulatory requirements.

Consulting and Training

TQA’s experts deliver tailored consulting services, advising clients on best practices for NORM management. We also offer training programs for personnel, covering safe handling, monitoring, and compliance procedures.

With years of experience in the field, TQA is a trusted partner in delivering safe, efficient, and compliant NORM management solutions. We work closely with clients to develop strategies that reduce risk, protect personnel, and minimize environmental impact while ensuring the highest standards of radiation protection.

Control of radioactive effluents at reception

RadeSol offers an integrated approach of remediating and decommissioning of polluted sites with natural and artificial radioactivity. It provides the following services:

  • Characterization and remediation of sites contaminated by radioactivity
  • Support for the selection, design and construction of a storage facility of radioactive waste
  • Support for set-up and enhancement of Laboratories for radioactivity analysis (instrumentations, procedures, Quality Assurance)
  • Training of personnel (Laboratory equipment and procedures, Radiation Protection, QA, Security, field sampling)

Our expertise in measurement and characterization allows us to offer all services for a wide range of matrices:

  • Waste from landfills
  • Soils and sediments
  • Gravels and metallic waste
  • Oil products
  • Water and effluents
  • Plants and bio-indicators

We offer analysis of a large number of radionuclides at very low detection levels:

  • Artificial (60Co, 137Cs/137mBa,
  • 131I…) and natural (234Th, 210Pb, 214Pb, 228Ac, 212Pb, 235U…) gamma emitters
  • Alpha emitters (isotopes of U, Pu, Am, Cm, Po)
  • Beta emitters (3H, 14C, 36Cl, 41Ca, 55Fe, 63Ni, 90Sr, 99Tc, 151Sm, 241Pu)
  • Gross alpha and Gross beta

OUR ADDED VALUE

A multidisciplinary team with outstanding experience and expertise in the domains of characterization, treatment and storage of radioactive waste, environmental monitoring as well as in the field of training.

RadeSol relies as well on a wide network of experts and collaborators from all around the world with tremendous job experience in waste management organizations, technical support organizations, utilities, research entities…

We can help:

  • Organizations and industries having polluted sites
  • Chemical and metallurgical industries
  • Water and geothermal industries
  • Nuclear industry (fuel cycle, NPPs)
  • Hospitals (nuclear medicine)

Decision Support for the Choice of Storage Sites

  • Site characterization
  • Geological, hydrological, chemical and radiological analyses of the site
  • Study of geological migration of radiochemical and chemical contaminants in the area of interest
  • Transfer of contaminants to the biosphere
  • Establishment of storage concept for repository construction
