Source Recovery
Alaron provides source recycling at our facility in Wampum, PA. This has proven to be a valuable service to the industry.
Alaron's Sealed Source Recovery Business provides customers with the ability to consolidate sources prior to disposal, have the components disassembled to separate the source from lead shielding, and recycle their Americium rather than disposal.
Radioactive sources are used in a range of applications in industry, medicine and research. Applications include:
- Smoke detectors and exit signs
- Radiotherapy
- Thickness gauging of thin plastics, sheet metal, rubber, textiles, and paper
- Well logging and road bed logging
- Testing of radiation detection and contamination equipment
When the source is no longer required or radioactive decay has rendered the source unfit for its original purpose, the source itself must be replaced and either recycled or sent to a licensed disposal facility.
Alaron provides source disposal and re-cycling services. We offer:
- Disposal / recycling of transuranic sources
- A disposal and recycling service coupled with site dismantling, handling, packaging, and transportation capabilities.
- A fully compliant service selecting the most appropriate methods and routing for a complete disposal service for our clients.
Alaron is fully committed to the specialized requirements of the users of radioactive sources.
Customers benefit from:
- Removal of a financial and environmental liability
- Access to a range of licensed disposal facilities
- Access to a range of fully approved transport containers
- A service fully compliant with NRC and international regulations
