This is a short (and hopefully sweet) #RSWATalk we wanted to get out there given the timing is close and for the multitude of companies with radioactive waste in storage it will be welcome news we're sure... In Western Australia, we are blessed to have the only Class V intractable [...]
Fixed radiation gauges... Are designed to be installed, commissioned and left in place for a long period of time, governed by the source’s manufacturer imposed recommended working life, which is typically fifteen years. The devices themselves and the radiation management system for these devices should be audited at least annually [...]
Simon Booth, RSWA’s MD presented at a Dangerous Goods conference recently outlining the complexities and differences with the transport of radioactive material in different jurisdictions. At this RSWATalks episode, for those that weren't at that conference and were interested to know more, we wanted to share a summary with [...]
There is a lot of information available internationally and within Australia on ‘safe’ levels of radiation exposure and on legislative dose limits. Although Dose Limitation is an important radiological management principle (legally required, clearly), it is also useful to explore the Dose Justification and Dose Optimisation principles. Justification involves a [...]
This story starts with Simon Booth from Radiation Services WA (RSWA for short) getting a request to assist with the replacement of a fixed radiation gauge which was being used for level detection on a minesite hopper. Simon met at the client’s site with a Project Engineer to risk assess [...]
Radiation Services WA feel that putting radiation exposure into perspective is one of our most important functions. Radiological risks should not be underestimated, but nor should they be exaggerated. Commonly radiation exposure from workplaces are compared to radiation exposures from medical fields, aircraft travel, and natural background levels. Rather than [...]
Radiation Services WA has launched its new website. Here you can find details about the radiation services we provide & training courses we offer
