Portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analysers are important tools in mining and other industries for the purpose of measuring the elemental composition of a sample. They are widely used by metallurgists, geologists, people in the scrap metal industry and even by archaeologists to assist with discovery. For the mining industry, [...]
Where there is matter, there is radiation. It exists in both natural and manufactured sources, either as ionising radiation or non-ionising radiation. Understanding these differences is important for human health and safety in any circumstances. Non-ionising radiation is largely harmless to health – at least in small doses. As [...]

Compliance Auditing typically has two broad auditing components - an audit of the radiation devices themselves, and an audit of the radiation management systems surrounding the use of these devices. X-ray Analysis (XRA) apparatus are generally all fully-enclosed these days and their safety depends on a combination of engineered [...]
