Customized Services
A broad range of services are offered, which include allowing other companies to perform work with contaminated equipment at the Alaron facility, transporting almost any type of contaminated material, decontaminating equipment, refurbishing motors and pumps, storing materials, and applying coatings and paints. These services are described in more detail below.
Licensed facility access
Storage, decontaminate and testing services are available to companies who own contaminated equipment but do not have a licensed facility. Under this program, other companies may perform work with contaminated equipment under Alaron's Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license at our facility.
Dry active waste
Paper, wood, plastic, protective clothing and soft trash can be shipped to our facility for processing. All materials are inspected and segregated into the appropriate areas.
Metals - large components
We use mechanical, chemical, automated and manual decontamination techniques. Some of the types of large components that we service include: turbine rotors and components, large tanks, structural steel and lead encased stainless steel casks.
Sludges and wet waste
Alaron manages the off-site processing of liquid radioactive waste material, including sludges, evaporator bottoms and resins.
Source recovery
Our source recycling service allows customers to consolidate sources prior to disposal, have components disassembled to separate the source from lead shielding, and recycle Americium instead of disposing of it.
Transportation
We are equipped to transport radioactive material in our standard 20 and 40 foot containers, plus speciality containers to assist our customers with odd size items like fuel racks, large motors, and turbine rotors. For many of our customers we provide switching station services and handle shipments by rail or truck.
Spent fuel shipping
Casks and cask-handling equipment are available to transport spent fuel.
Machine ship with "N" stamp weld and fabrication
Equipment is available to companies to perform work under an NRC license in our machine shop with their own machinist. We provide "N" stamp welding and fabrication at our facility and can handle very highly contaminated equipment such as spent fuel pool equipment, resin handling equipment and primary components.
Storage
With our Radioactive Materials License, we are licensed to store radioactive materials in over 150,000 2ft of storage space indoors, and 25 acres outdoors. Storage of contaminated equipment may be less expensive than decontamination.
Coatings and painting
Our coatings specialists are trained to apply Nuclear Service Level 1 coating to new or contaminated material and equipment. Our facility includes a surface cleaning/preparation area, a large abrasive blasting containment, and a large enviro- control paint booth. Audited and certified third party inspectors are available.
Regulatory Requirements
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses all facilities that process radioactive waste under the Atomic Energy Act.
