In their latest eBook, GeoEnergy Consult outlines how the company is supporting NORM-affected mining & processing to get permitted and to operate efficiently.
Numerous mining projects for uranium, rare earths or other commodities are affected by Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) and need to be managed appropriately. Mining and processing of those metals can lead to a build-up of NORM residues, which need to be disposed of safely and compliant.
GeoEnergy Consult is supporting projects that are affected by NORM, as requirements for managing these materials become ever stricter. Projects have to overcome the common challenges associated with NORM, such as radiation safety, the prevention of site contamination and liability risks.
Thus, the company helps NORM-affected projects to get permitted and to operate efficiently and provides specific advice throughout the life cycle.
Solutions for managing Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material
Several projects that have been affected by Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material did not receive the necessary permits because they failed to show that they were capable of coping with fundamental requirements. GeoEnergy Consult not only provides consultancy advice but also can support the engineering and realisation of projects. According to client needs, the company customises its NORM management solutions.
This eBook delves into GeoEnergy Consult’s expertise and presents a variety of examples from the company’s portfolio, including:
- Radiation safety and dose assessment;
- Processing and disposal of residues containing Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material; and
- Decommissioning and remediation of NORM-affected mining & processing.
