Decommissioning and Decontamination

Dismantling of facilities, decontamination, laundry

• Decommissioning of facilities according to StrSchV
• Decommissioning of non-nuclear facilities (accelerators, radionuclide laboratories, neutron generators, research and nuclear medicine facilities)
• Decontamination and conditioning of residues and radioactive waste
• Release measurements according to § 31-37 StrlSchV
• Contamination controls according to § 57, 58 StrlSchV
• Checks for contamination, clearance measurement of buildings and components according to the radiation protection ordinance including provision of radiological measurement devices
• Laundry service for contaminated clothes and leasing of work clothes

Accelerators / cyclotrons

During the operation of accelerators and cyclotrons radioactive isotopes are generated as a result of physical interactions in parts of the device. These activated components are subject to the radiation protection ordinance and need to be dismantled professionally.

We offer the following services:

• Development of customer-oriented solutions for dismantling
• Measurement services and identification of activated components
• Professional decommissioning and takeover of activated components as well as decontamination
• Clearance measurments of activated components according to § 31-37 radiation protection ordinance

Being in consultation with the relevant authorities at all times, we can provide you an individual concept for dismantling and disposal.
With our long-standing partners, we can guarantee you a time and cost-optimized realization of your project.

Gamma-Service Recycling GmbH has decommissioned and disposed more than 250 accelerators by now.
