Our business practices are grounded in principles that prevent waste, reduce material and energy consumption, and minimize human resource strain. Every stage of our product life cycle is engineered to reduce environmental pollution and comply 100% with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

NMNTI ensures that our operations and value chain reflect our sustainability commitments. We implement responsible supply chain practices that uphold international social and environmental standards, and we collaborate with suppliers who share our dedication to sustainability. Environmental protection is not just a requirement for NMNTI; it is a responsibility we embrace to ensure a livable planet for future generations.

Our employees are essential to achieving these goals. We foster a workplace culture that values inclusion, innovation, and responsibility. Workers at NMNTI are treated with dignity and respect and are provided with safe, healthy, and supportive working conditions. We extend this philosophy to our community engagements, forging local partnerships to support social, environmental, and economic well-being.

NMNTI is committed to continuous improvement and innovation in sustainability. We develop and employ technologies that prevent environmental harm and promote efficient use of natural resources. Our goal is not only to comply but to lead by example—integrating sustainability into every project, process, and partnership.

Together with our partners, clients, and communities, NMNTI seeks to transform the future of nuclear decommissioning and waste management into a model of environmental stewardship. Our long-term vision is a world where advanced technology protects people and the planet, enabling safer, cleaner environments across the globe.

Implementing Sustainability at NMNTI: How We Achieve Our Policy Goals

NMNTI translates its sustainability policy into action through a comprehensive and integrated approach that spans design, operations, supply chain management, and community engagement. This section outlines the key strategies and processes NMNTI uses to fulfill its commitment to a sustainable and socially responsible future.

1. Oil-less, Dry Operational Technologies

At the core of NMNTI’s environmental responsibility is its exclusive use of oil-less, dry technologies for radioactive waste sampling and retrieval. Unlike traditional methods that may require hydraulic fluids, water flushing, or lubricants, NMNTI’s proprietary tools—such as the TruPro® sampling platform—operate using high-efficiency air systems. This ensures zero contamination from lubricants, significantly reduces liquid secondary waste, and allows for safe, dry retrieval even in highly contaminated environments.

By eliminating water or oil-based systems, NMNTI avoids introducing fluids that can spread contamination or require treatment as mixed hazardous waste. This leads to a reduced ecological footprint and enhances containment, safety, and compliance with Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC).

2. Minimizing Carbon Footprint

NMNTI integrates carbon minimization throughout its operations by reducing the energy intensity of its technologies, designing systems for rapid deployment and low power use, and optimizing logistics. Field equipment is modular, lightweight, and designed for rapid setup, which reduces time on site, energy use, and transport costs.

Digital tools, remote monitoring systems, and virtual reporting also help minimize travel and associated emissions. NMNTI facilities and laboratories utilize energy-efficient systems and comply with local and national standards for emissions and waste control.

3. Zero-Waste Objectives

NMNTI’s product design and operational philosophy align with zero-waste principles. All tools are reusable, modular, and made from recyclable materials where applicable. Sample extraction is dry and precise, with minimal disturbance to surrounding structures, ensuring that only necessary volumes are extracted and analyzed.

The waste produced from sampling and characterization is segregated at the point of generation. NMNTI uses advanced containment and packaging methods that meet both physical and radiological containment requirements while minimizing excess material.

4. Sustainable Supply Chains

Suppliers are an integral part of NMNTI’s sustainability journey. All suppliers are required to conform to recognized international standards on environmental protection, labor rights, and sustainable practices. NMNTI’s supplier selection criteria include sustainability screening, and ongoing suppliers are periodically reviewed for environmental performance and ethical conduct.

Local sourcing is prioritized to reduce transportation emissions and to strengthen local economies. Wherever possible, NMNTI partners with vendors and subcontractors who share its ESG commitments.

5. Regulatory Compliance and Environmental Leadership

NMNTI maintains full compliance with all applicable environmental regulations, including U.S. EPA, NRC, IAEA, and international host-country regulations. Compliance is verified through internal audits and third-party assessments. Beyond compliance, NMNTI adopts voluntary environmental management frameworks and continuously innovates to exceed regulatory requirements.

Our operations are guided by ISO standards, including ISO 9001:2015 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ensuring systematic control over environmental aspects and performance indicators.

6. Social Sustainability and Workforce Well-being

NMNTI believes that sustainability extends to human and social dimensions. We maintain a workplace where workers are provided with safe conditions, equitable treatment, and development opportunities. Our internal HR policies mandate non-discrimination, fair compensation, and active inclusion.

We ensure that all project deployments include worker health assessments, ergonomic reviews of equipment, and proactive hazard mitigation. Additionally, NMNTI offers continued education and certifications in sustainability topics for staff involved in operations, procurement, and field services.

7. Community Engagement and Local Impact

In alignment with our sustainability policy, NMNTI works with local communities, area businesses, and regional leaders to support environmental improvement efforts. Our projects are designed to minimize disruption and promote lasting benefits for host communities.

We maintain open communication channels with local stakeholders and participate in public forums, technical workshops, and community development partnerships. Our goal is to ensure that the communities in which we operate are cleaner, safer, and more resilient as a result of our presence.

8. Continuous Improvement and Metrics

NMNTI has established key performance indicators (KPIs) to track environmental, social, and economic impacts. These metrics include carbon intensity per project, waste reduction ratios, compliance status, energy consumption, and supply chain sustainability ratings.

Regular management reviews and sustainability audits drive improvement initiatives. NMNTI’s leadership is held accountable for performance through integrated ESG reporting and client-facing disclosures.

9. Circular Economy and Material Efficiency

We actively incorporate circular economy principles into the design and operation of our systems. Tools and components are designed for repairability and reuse, extending their service life and reducing material waste. Our approach to materials emphasizes low-toxicity, high-durability substances that can be reused or recycled safely at the end of their lifecycle.

10. Vision for the Future

Looking forward, NMNTI is exploring the integration of renewable energy sources for field operations, enhanced life-cycle analysis tools, and AI-assisted sustainability optimization. Our R&D efforts include sustainable encapsulation matrices and radwaste packaging systems that meet environmental performance thresholds while reducing resource consumption.
