Screening cargo entering a country is vital to prevent the passage of illicit cargo, including radioactive material.

Around the world, more than 115 commercial power reactors, 48 experimental or prototype reactors, over 250 research reactors and several fuel facilities have been retired from operation. Decommissioning requires careful planning and comprehensive characterisation. 

Increasing the situational awareness of RN threats in theatres of engagement has become an essential part of defence strategies in countries around the world.

For first responders and emergency teams undertaking risk assessments and establishing secure perimeters quickly and effectively, is paramount to the safety of people and the environment.

Operating nuclear reactors for power, research and medical isotope production, as well as the associated waste management operations, requires careful monitoring, maintenance and shielding of fuel and irradiated products often in high dose rate environments.

Health physics services are vital in ensuring the safety of radiation workers within the nuclear industry. 

It is essential that nuclear safeguards inspectors can confidently verify that nation states are meeting their obligations under international nuclear safeguards treaties. Central to these inspection activities is the identification of the location, type and amount a nuclear material that can be traced to declared activities.
