Radioactive Waste Management
Due to the decommissioning and dismantling of older nuclear facilities, there is an increasing interest in the monitoring of radioactive waste and their free release into the environment. The field of radioactive waste management and the safe disposal of ionizing radiation sources is producing a greater demand for our products and solutions.
VF offers a range of products and solutions for this field, mainly focusing on:
- Decontamination and waste treatment
- Monitoring systems for the free release of radioactive waste into the environment
- Systems for the characterization of radioactive waste, and the evaluation of activity position and distribution
- Information systems and databases of radioactive waste, measurement results, calculations and limitations of stored activities, tracking the movement of containers with radioactive waste
- Design and construction of hot cells for work with high-level activities up to 8,000 TBq (Co-60)
- Supply, replacement, handling and safe disposal of ionizing radiation sources
