Recharging of ionizing radiation sources

JSC Kvant provides recharging services for ionizing radiation sources. This is the technological process of replacing spent radionuclides in generating units, restoring their performance and extending their service life.

For high-activity sources the work is carried out in a hot cell at JSC Kvant's production facility, which enables handling of high-activity isotopes (Co-60, Cs-137, etc.).

Over the past 10 years JSC Kvant has performed more than 1000 source recharges.

Licence

Recharging (discharging and charging) of sources from radioisotope instruments, irradiator units, devices and facilities, including sources past their service life, is covered by Rostechnadzor licence UO-03-206-3552.

Transport and recharging casks (TPK)

Our company manufactures transport and recharging casks (TPK) for safe charging and recharging of flaw-detector radiation heads, and for storage and transportation of sealed radionuclide sources.
