Uranium or Thorium bearing sites (radioactive substances)

 
Enforcement of the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommandations

RADIATION PROTECTION OF MINE WORKERS


>>Sites in project:

  • Assessment of estimated radiological impacts on mine workers
  • Advice on optimization

>>Sites in operation:


  • Dosimetric follow-up of mine workers (radon, dust, gamma radiation)
  • Monitoring of work environment : site interventions
  • Advice on preventive measures (ventilation...)
  • Leak testing of sealed sources
  • Advice on organising radiation protection

>>During decommissioning:


  • Radiation protection of all acting personnel
  • Characterization and management of waste products
  • Monitoring of storage areas


ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERTISE


  • Radiological inspection of existing sites
  • Assessment of estimated impacts : modelling, simulations of transfers
  • Assessment of potentially contaminated sites :
 
Swift intervention : investigations on site for gamma measures
Initial report : surface mapping, gamma measures, measurements from samples of air, soil, water, vegetation and the food chain (activity in Bq/g, Bq/L or Bq/m3)
Summary risk assessment. Evaluation of the dosimetric impact on members of the public from generic scenarios.
Full risk assessment. In depth analysis. Survey of received doses : monitoring network.
Assistance in the choice of a rehabilitation strategy
  • Set up and management of monitoring networks.
  • Site intervention for sample collection and analysis in situ or in ALGADE's laboratories.
