Lab based radiological testing

Laboratory-based radiological testing involves analysis of samples for radioactive contamination and chemical composition to ensure safety, compliance, and effective waste management. Cavendish Nuclear operates advanced laboratories at Greeson Court Laboratory at Westlake’s Science and Technology Park, which has supported Sellafield and other UK nuclear sites for decades.

Radiological Analysis

• Measurement of alpha, beta, and gamma activity in environmental and operational samples.
• Isotopic identification for nuclear materials.
• Support for decommissioning projects.

Environmental & Personnel Monitoring

• Testing soil, water, air, and biological samples for contamination.
• Annual analysis of thousands of samples for regulatory compliance.

Development Chemistry & Process Improvement

• Dedicated labs for high-activity sample analysis and method development.
• Research into new analytical techniques for nuclear waste characterisation.
