Environmental monitoring plays a crucial role in assessing and managing the presence of radionuclides in the environment, particularly in areas impacted by nuclear activities. When introduced, Raddec technology uniquely filled a critical analytical gap to aid the expanding nuclear decommissioning sector and its growing need for efficient waste characterisation and environmental monitoring. Today, Raddec’s innovative range of radioanalytical instruments continues to support research institutions, regulatory bodies, and environmental agencies in ensuring compliance, safety, and sustainability.
Raddec’s specialised instrumentation is designed to extract volatile radionuclides from any material, making it an essential tool for environmental monitoring. Whether analysing soil, water, or biological samples, our systems provide precise and reliable data to assess contamination levels and track changes over time. Our key environmental technologies include:
Capable of extracting volatile radionuclides such as tritium, carbon-14, chlorine-36, and iodine-129 from virtually any sample, the Pyrolyser-Trio is widely used in environmental research. This system enables laboratories to conduct accurate assessments of contamination levels in soil and sediment samples, supporting regulatory compliance and remediation efforts.
A compact alternative designed for environmental laboratories requiring high-performance radionuclide extraction in a space-efficient setup.
The HBO2 system was specifically designed for the rapid extraction of tritium and carbon-14 using pressurised oxygen, from large (combustible) sample masses. Its ability to provide fast and precise measurements makes it an essential tool for environmental agencies and research teams focused on contamination assessments.
Accurate radionuclide analysis is essential for maintaining environmental safety and meeting regulatory requirements. Raddec’s technology helps organisations monitor contamination, assess potential hazards, and implement effective decontamination strategies. By delivering precise, repeatable results, our systems support informed decision-making in nuclear decommissioning, waste management and environmental protection.
Internationally, Raddec works closely with environmental agencies, universities, and industrial partners to enhance environmental monitoring capabilities. Our technology enables scientists and researchers to investigate contamination sources, study radionuclide behaviour, and develop long-term monitoring strategies. With a commitment to innovation and precision, Raddec continues to be a trusted partner in the field of environmental radioactivity analysis.
