This firm has developed new methods for determining the solubility of uranium and transuranics on breathing zone air samples. The new method has improved sensitivity and significantly reduced the cost to perform the analysis. The method was used to determine the uranium solubility profiles through each stage of an operating uranium plant and improve their internal dosimetry results. The state of Arizona, as well as many other states, require all sealed sources with activities greater than 100 microcuries to be checked for leakage. The frequency of the leak checks are stated in each facility's radioactive materials license.
Typical schedules are biannually, annualy or every three years.
According to the state of Arizona, sealed sources must be reported if the leakage exceeds 0.005 microcuries over a 100 square centimeters. The counting facility at Radiation Safety Engineering has the ability to detect much lower level of radiation, making it an ideal choice for all leak checking needs. Call or send an email to obtain a leak check kit. Please include name, company, address, etc., as well as the type of source and frequency of check. Inc. RSE also provides customers with digital dosimeters made by Xetex.
