Depleted Uranium Recycling & DISPOSAL

How It Works

Depleted Uranium is used in many industries and applications such as civil engineering equipment and collimators for linear accelerators.

Since Depleted Uranium is denser than lead, it also used as shielding for radioactive sources and some transport containers. This presents users with a secondary waste problem; even when the original sources have been disposed of, the liability of the Depleted Uranium remains.

In other applications, Depleted Uranium has become redundant as technology has advanced. For many organisations, this creates an unwanted liability and an ongoing regulatory, financial and administrative burden.

With over 20 years’ expertise in carrying out safe, compliant removal of Depleted Uranium, our team have a well-deserved reputation for supporting clients through the regulatory and logistical challenges of radioactive waste disposal.
