US Nuclear Corporation applications

Water is a critical element for the survival of the human race. Without clean water sickness and disease take place as seen in many parts of the world. Fortunately, developed countries have water treatment plants to provide clean water to their populations. Unfortunately, most of this water is sourced from surface water. Vulnerable to accident and terrorist attack with surface proximity. Groundwater is also a primary source and unfortunately being polluted from many sources not least of which is fracking with the reinfusion of fracking wastewater into the earth.

Clean breathable air is something that many groups are promoting. Air free of radioactive elements is critical to maintaining clean air. Terrorist activity, smoke from fires in facilities using nuclear materials, radioactive effluent from manufacturing or nuclear and coal-fired plants, naturally occurring radiation in the form of radon and radium, all contribute to radiation in the air. US Nuclear Corp’s divisions of Technical Associates and Overhoff Technology provide a diverse suite of installed and portable radiation detection instruments for both environmental; outdoor and indoor air quality.

The oil, gas, and mining industries are increasingly looking for sensor detection for chemicals and radiation emitting from their activities. Compliance with EPA regulations is critical to avoid significant fines in addition to maintaining a safe workspace for their employees. Oil and gas pipelines can leak methane among other toxic gases. Uranium and rare earth mining expose to air radioactive elements. Fracking rock releases radon and other naturally occurring radioactivity typically trapped within the rock being broken in the release trapped oil shale. These industries benefit from the detectors and sensors, portable, installed, and flown, provided by Technical Associates, a division of US Nuclear Corp.

As our environment is increasingly at threat of terrorist activity, improper radioactive material disposal, and air pollution, agencies such as FEMA, EPA, police, and military have come to Technical Associates, a division of US Nuclear Corp, for their exceptional instrumentation for air, water, and Air Forensics in the search, detection, location, and monitoring of radioactive materials and sources.

Technical Associates and Overhoff Technology, divisions of US Nuclear Corp, work closely with a number of National Laboratories and University Research programs providing radiation detection and monitoring instrumentation for their facilities assisting their efforts in both research and workplace safety.

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.

Goods and products are transported into this country and around the country in shipping containers. Thousands, millions, of them every day. They come into shipping ports, railway transfer stations, and travel the streets and highways of the nation.  Technical Associates, a division of US Nuclear Corp, developed a suite of sensor systems to specifically detect radiation quickly in these containers and rail cars.

When public security is considered it is almost always in terms of an active shooter or a bomber. This means the police, SWAT, bomb squad, Homeland Security. But it also means terrorist activity. From dirty bombs in backpacks to radioactive material dumped in reservoirs to depleted uranium bullets and other tactical ordnance to radioactive smoke coming out of a burning medical facility, the need to protect the First Responders from encountering a radioactive threat is essential.  Technical Associates, a division of US Nuclear Corp, has developed an exceptional suite of instruments to provide that security in the evaluation of the threat at hand, prior to initial response.
