Radioisotope instruments
Decommissioning and disposal of radioisotope instruments
Dismantling, removal and disposal of radioisotope instruments past their service life — under Rostechnadzor licences.
Radioisotope instruments — level gauges, thickness gauges, density gauges — require proper decommissioning at the end of their service life.
- Assessment of the radiation and technical condition of the instruments.
- Preparation for dismantling, taking into account the equipment's specifics.
- Safe dismantling and transportation to specialized organizations.
- Disposal in compliance with all environmental norms.
What happens to the source next
- Transfer for long-term storage to a specialized organization
- Return to the manufacturer for reprocessing
- Reclassification as radioactive waste
