Why Expert Radiological Waste Advise Matters.

Organisations with a permit or authorisation to manage, accumulate or dispose of radioactive waste are legally required to appoint a Radioactive Waste Advisor (RWA).

  • Understanding and complying with environmental and radioactive waste regulations can be challenging, leaving organisations uncertain about meeting all legal obligations effectively. 

  • Finding experienced, RWA-certified advisers with the right sector expertise and availability can be difficult, causing delaying compliance and project delays. 

  • Managing legacy radioactive materials that stem from a range of past activities and pose extensive historical contamination present unique challenges. Sourcing experienced RWA’s with specialist expertise can be challenging. 

  • The need for radioactive waste advisors spans multiple sectors from nuclear to medical, industrial to land remediation. Finding RWAs with broad, cross-sector experience can be challenging.
