Deactivation and Decommissioning

DEACTIVATION AND DECOMMISSIONING

In the decommissioning process of nuclear facilities, ensuring minimal environmental contamination is paramount. Codeac's Colorimetric Nuclear Detection products play a vital role in this phase by providing a swift and effective means of detecting contamination. Codeac Solutions is a complementary affordable technology that provides onsite testing of people and equipment with colorimetric results in less than 60 seconds; offering immediate classification of contamination for safety and security requirements.

ONSITE COLORIMETRIC RESULTS

Our technology delivers results onsite in less than 60 seconds with specificity and high sensitivity with no need for a lab; Identifying Uranium, Plutonium, Americium, Cobalt and Primary Transition with a distinct and calibrated color. Along with our current product range we have ongoing research and development to expand the range of variants we detect and are excited to announce that we will have a bioassay test coming soon to add to our portfolio for human testing.

CONTAMINATION MANAGEMENT

As structures are dismantled and materials are handled, the risk of exposure to residual contamination increases. Our wipes, water, and soil tests enable decommissioning teams to conduct frequent surface assessments, swiftly identifying and addressing any hotspots. By integrating Codeac's technology into decommissioning protocols, teams can enhance safety measures, minimize exposure risks for workers, and ensure the secure handling and disposal of contaminated materials, thereby facilitating the safe and efficient decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
