Advanced Gauging is pleased to introduce our new Isotope Source Recovery and Disposal Program.  This service has been made possible by A.G.T.’s recent completion of the Sparrows Point, Maryland source cleanup project (see Sept. 11, 2014 blog post) and concurrent GTRI security upgrades.  As a result of these projects, the Ohio Department of Health has amended our radioactive material license and now allows us to accept a wider variety of isotope sources for recovery (accept ownership), disposal (coordinate physical disposal with federal and state authorities) and/or temporary storage.  This includes many common sealed sources such as those used in various industrial, medical and food processing industries as well as sources used in research and development.  For complete details and a list of sources we can accept, please visit the “Services” section of our website.

Last year, Advanced Gauging Technologies partnered with the United States Department of Energy to perform a security enhancement audit of our facility. Using the information gained from this audit we implemented a plan to increase our existing security measures. This plan included upgrading existing radio controlled key systems, adding 24/7 surveillance cameras with night vision, upgrading safes and improving our existing alarm system. We are also working closely with local law enforcement to improve response times and have policies in place in case of emergencies.

In conjunction with these increased security additions, we have been able to amend our nuclear materials licenses putting us in a position to recover more isotope sources that our customers may need to dispose of. Please contact us at Sales@AdvGauging.com for more information or a quote for recovery/disposal of your radioactive nuclear isotope sources.
