We are experts in the measurement and characterisation of neutron radiation fields
Safeguarding radiation workers and the public, and paving the way to new sources of power
Radiation and radioactive isotopes have a variety of applications, and accurate measurement is fundamental to all of them. Our state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, coupled with our experienced staff, underpin the safety and effectiveness of applications that rely on radioactivity.
Our work supports both the routine use of nuclear power and the decommissioning of redundant nuclear plant, safeguarding the public and the environment. And we help to increase industry understanding of nuclear fusion, at the start of a new era of nuclear energy provision.
In nuclear medicine, minimising the uncertainties associated with dose and activity measurement is crucial to the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of diseases such as cancer.

Our cutting-edge measurement covers the calibration of nuclear instruments and radiotherapy equipment, the identification and characterisation of radioactive isotopes, and more. We specialise in:
We investigate new neutron sensors to help keep workers in the nuclear sector safe
We have a suite of neutron spectrometers that are used for characterising workplace fields
We are studying the use of radioactive substances in the research, diagnosis and treatment of disease
We operate world-leading facilities for measuring neutron source emission rates
We determine recommended, internationally-accepted values for nuclear data sets
We hold the primary standards for all measurements of radioactivity in the UK
We provide gas standards for the calibration of stack, area and environmental monitoring
We develop novel sample preparation procedures for end users in the nuclear sector
We offer a broad range of services that underpin the medical radiation and nuclear decommissioning industries, providing world-leading radioactivity measurements for a wide range of applications.
