Environmental Protection from Ionising Radiation
Safeguarding Our Planet Against Invisible Hazards
Ionising radiation—stemming from natural sources like cosmic rays and soil, or from human-made activities and accidents—can pose a serious environmental threat. While beneficial in fields such as energy production and healthcare, the uncontrolled release of radioactive material can adversely affect ecosystems and public health. That’s why robust environmental protection is vital.
Core Principles & Regulatory Foundations
To ensure environmental safety, we rely on established radiation protection guidelines based on internationally recognized principles:
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Justification | No practice involving radiation should be permitted unless its benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks. |
| Optimization (ALARA/ALARP) | All exposures must be kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable (or Reasonably Practicable), considering societal and economic factors. |
| Dose Limitation | Both public and occupational exposures must remain within set thresholds to prevent harmful effects. |
Supporting Global Standards
We align our practices with international safety frameworks, leveraging resources such as the IAEA’s General Safety Guide (GSG-8), which offers guidance for safeguarding both people and the environment across all exposure scenarios—planned, emergency, or existing.
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) provides the scientific foundation for many of these standards, ensuring they are grounded in robust evidence for policymakers worldwide.
Galaxy Energy Solutions – Our Approach
- Comprehensive Environmental Monitoring
We design and deploy monitoring programs to track radionuclide levels in air, soil, and water—ensuring early detection and effective response to any release. - Risk Assessment & Mitigation Strategies
We evaluate potential exposure risks, applying ALARA principles to develop targeted strategies—whether through containment, cleanup, or shielding. - Stakeholder Engagement & Regulatory Coordination
We support environmental impact assessments, regulatory filings, and transparent communication with stakeholders. - Emergency Preparedness & Response
In emergency scenarios, we draw on international best practices to manage radiation risks promptly, safeguarding both the environment and public health.
