Design and assessment of radioactive material storage for radiography projectors

RADXION Radiation Services LLC successfully completed a comprehensive design and radiological assessment for a dedicated radioactive material storage facility intended to house industrial gamma radiography projectors. This project reflects our commitment to providing safe, regulatory-compliant, and optimized shielding solutions for the radiography sector across the UAE and GCC.

Scope of Work

  • Conceptual and detailed design of the storage facility

  • Determination of shielding requirements based on source activity and operational needs

  • Structural and layout planning to ensure secure and efficient storage

  • Dose rate mapping and radiation protection optimization for occupancy and access areas

  • Integration of security measures and emergency response considerations

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

  • Design fully aligned with FANR Regulatory Guide, IAEA SSR-6, and IAEA Safety Standards for storage of radioactive sources

  • Shielding calculations performed using Monte Carlo simulations and deterministic assessments

  • Dose rates ensured to be below FANR regulatory limits for controlled and unrestricted areas

  • Incorporation of ALARA principles throughout the design

Outcome

  • A customized storage solution capable of safely housing multiple Ir-192 projectors

  • Validated dose rates and safety measures for personnel and environment

  • Detailed engineering drawings, radiological shielding reports, and compliance documentation delivered to the client

  • Project approved for regulatory submission and licensing
