NMNTI can help with the critical upfront characterization of nuclear power plants and nuclear process facility site footprint reduction. We have the patented technology and capabilities to do the upfront preliminary exploratory sampling, analysis, and characterization of the nuclear reactors, nuclear process facilities, and waste packages generated. This approach helps the site owner and operators to leverage a more credible and cost-effective decommissioning strategy and quantification of radioactive inventories and waste volumes.

By better determining volumetrically alpha, beta and gamma activity levels or contaminants of concern from surface and depth sampling of material with analysis in near real time, waste segregation and management operations we will reduce waste volumes, project life cycle risks, streamlining D&D approaches by eliminating unknowns.

NMNTI has profiled 8 nuclear reactors and bioshields, SONGS Unit-1 San Onofre, California, Omega West Reactor Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, the TRIGA University of Illinois Research Reactor, ENRESA Vandellós Unit 1 graphite-gas N.P.P. Spain, Jose Cabrera Reactor, Spain, HIFAR reactor, ANSTO – Australia, NPD Reactor – CNL, Rolphton Canada and numerous US Department of Energy highly contaminated facilities. NMNTI has also successfully profiled and characterized Brennilis STE, for ELECTRICITE de FRANCE-CIDEN (EDF) and investigations of EDF Bugey 1 Characterization. Representative subsurface sampling, gamma radiochemical characterization and profiling at depth using TruPro^® of the Active Liquid Waste Tank 2 (ALWT-2) concrete, liquid, liquid depth, sand contents, and the concrete inner walls of the concrete structure via entry through the tank roof at the Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) Waste Management Area A (WMA A) located at the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s (AECL) Chalk River Laboratories, Chalk River, Ontario, Canada. This experience is paramount to the successful completion of upfront representative sampling and characterization of nuclear facilities being decommissioned.
