Land characterisation
Our expert consultants support mining operations by conducting a thorough land characterisation and assessment to create a baseline survey of the area.
Required prior to commencing operations, this information identifies any risks associated with levels of naturally occuring radioactive materials (NORMs).
Dealing with NORM
Posing a unique challenge for the resource sector, naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) is commonly present in mining, oil and gas operations. Understanding, identifying and managing NORM is key to ensuring the safety of employees and the environment.
ANSTO's radiation training team have developed a specialised NORM course for personnel that have operational or management responsibilities for radioactive substances and apparatus in industries affected by NORM.
Our consultancy team can also provide specific advice and support for ongoing management of NORM.

Our expert team can manage the source and equipment:
- Conducting wipe tests to ensure the source integrity is maintained (compliance and documentation)

- Unloading sources from the equipment in a safe and controlled manner
- Preparing sources for final disposal
