RADIATION PROTECTION OF WORKERS

Sites in operation:

  • Assessment of exposure risks and of doses received by the workers 
  • Work environment control : site interventions
  • Advice on preventive measures (ventilation...)
  • Dosimetric follow-up of the workers if needed
  • Advice on organising radiation protection
  • Statutory inspections

 

During decommissioning:

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

 

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERTISE


Survey of estimated impacts (radiological inspection of existing sites)

Impact survey of operating plants (measure of exposures to natural radiation and assessment of the doses the population will be subjected to)

Survey 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- 1 ou Bq.l-1 ou Bq.m- 3).
    • 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.
