Sealed Radioactive Source Removal & Recycling
Safe, Compliant, End-to-End Service
Sealed radioactive sources play vital roles across industries—from medical devices and industrial gauges to research instruments. When these sources reach the end of their service life or equipment requires decommissioning, safe and responsible handling is essential.
At Galaxy Energy Solutions, we offer an all-inclusive, turnkey service: we safely extract the radioactive source from its equipment, package it in compliance with dangerous goods regulations, arrange secure transport, and ensure it reaches an authorized facility for recycling or disposal. This approach provides you with complete peace of mind.
Why It Matters
Without careful management, disused sealed sources—if not handled properly—can pose serious threats to human health and the environment. Institutions globally are increasingly embracing sustainable disposal practices, including recycling, to reduce waste and mitigate risks.
