The EPA has tough regulations when it comes to disposing of radioactive material. Scrap metal sites are at risk for substantial fines and returned scrap if it is found to be radioactive. Waste material sites that take in radioactive waste material must adhere to strict rules of detection and ongoing monitoring. Technical Associates, a division of US Nuclear Corp, has developed a suite of instruments designed specifically for the harsh environment of scrap metal yards and sites taking in radioactive waste.
