Radiological Risk Assessment Surveys
Resource Management & Research can perform radiological risk assessment surveys of lands and buildings to check for the presence of radiological contamination. These assessments enable our clients to better manage the 'hidden' risks of ionizing radiation to staff and families.
Radiological risk assessment surveys are performed by a UK certified Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) using industry approved monitoring equipment.
Kazakhstan, with one fifth of the worlds uranium reserves was at the centre of the Soviet Union's nuclear industrial complex, with uranium mining and processing centers, weapons test areas, and waste storage sites1.

Cold war management and disposal of radioactive materials was haphazard. This legacy has resulted in contaminated materials being used in building construction, principally steel and sand/earth2.
