Supporting regulatory compliance and complex radiological decision-making
Delivering defensible data through laboratory, field, and custom technical solutions

Sample Analysis

CoPhysics provides laboratory and select in-field radiological analyses for environmental, occupational, and regulatory applications. Analyses are performed using established methodologies and appropriate quality controls to ensure defensible results.

Capabilities include:

  • Gamma spectroscopy
  • Alpha and beta spectrometry
  • Low-level tritium counting
  • Gross alpha / gross beta analysis

Sample media include:

  • Soil, water, and vegetation
  • Bioassay samples
  • Air filters and wipe tests
  • Leak test samples and other materials

Certain analyses may be performed in the field when immediate results are required.

Instrumentation Services

CoPhysics provides repair, calibration, installation, and rental of radiological instrumentation. Calibrations are performed using NIST-traceable alpha, beta, and gamma sources in accordance with ANSI N323 and NCRP Report No. 122.

Services include:

  • Instrument repair and maintenance
  • Calibration of survey meters and detectors
  • Instrument installation and system commissioning
  • Equipment rental

Specialized instrumentation available:

  • Vehicle and truck monitoring systems
  • Surface gamma logging kits
  • Custom detectors or analysis

Rental equipment includes friskers, spectroscopic isotope identifiers, GPS-enabled gamma logging kits, and other radiological instruments.

Radiological Consulting and Training

CoPhysics provides consulting and training services to support regulatory compliance, operational safety, and program development.

Services include:

  • Radiation safety manuals and operating procedures
  • Radioactive materials management programs
  • License and permit preparation
  • Customized training programs
  • Radioactive materials license audits

Site Radiological Services

On-site services are performed at client facilities and field locations and are tailored to project-specific requirements.

On-site capabilities include:

  • Radiological assessments, including MARSSIM survey design and data analysis
  • License close-out and laboratory surveys
  • Identification of unknown radioactive materials
  • Environmental sample collection
  • Gamma logging
  • Airflow measurements
  • Sealed source testing
  • Portal monitor install, repair, and calibration

Software Products

CoPhysics develops Microsoft Windows™-based software tools to support radiological data collection, inventory management, and quality assurance.

Available software includes:

  • Inventory and waste control systems
  • Quality assurance tools
  • Map-based GPS data collection software (SitePad™) for area surveys

Special Research and Development

CoPhysics performs specialized research and development projects to address radiological challenges where standard methods are inadequate or impractical.

Past projects have included solutions for:

  • Alpha detection in high-beta radiation fields
  • Fuel detection in high-gamma environments
  • Dose extrapolation computer algorithms
  • In-situ sub-surface spectroscopic analysis

If conventional approaches have not been successful or cost-effective, CoPhysics can evaluate alternative technical solutions.
