Nuclear Waste Management - Core

Non-Destructive Inspection of Sealed Nuclear Waste Containers

LDRS technology enables non-destructive inspection of sealed, heavily shielded waste containers to support regulatory compliance and enable long-term storage without costly repackaging.

The Challenge

Legacy Waste Creates a Characterization Gap before Final Storage Decisions

The problem is uncertainty inside sealed, shielded, and often poorly documented containers.

Documentation Gaps

Historical records may be incomplete, inconsistent, or insufficient for final characterization decisions.

Mixed Contents

Containers may include heterogeneous material combinations that are difficult to assess from the outside.

Shielding

Dense shielding can limit conventional inspection and reduce confidence in hidden-content assessment.

Handling Risk

Opening, sorting, or repackaging can increase waste volume, exposure risk, cost, and operational complexity.

The Solution

CORE Characterizes Sealed Waste without Opening the Container

CORE translates the shared dual-radiation platform into a waste-specific evidence workflow.

01

Structural View

Maps internal geometry, dense structures, voids, and shielding-relevant features inside sealed waste containers.

02

Material Evidence

Adds composition-relevant signatures for hidden contents, especially where light elements or mixed materials matter.

03

Fused Waste Profile

Combines structural and material evidence into a use-case-specific dataset for waste characterization.

04

Characterization Report

Supports documented decisions on classification, handling, repackaging need, and further investigation.

The customer output is a defensible evidence package for waste characterization.

MISSION-CRITICAL INSPECTION

Accurate Characterization Without Opening the Container

By combining MeV X-ray imaging and fast neutron analysis, LDRS technology provides visibility into sealed and heavily shielded waste containers, enabling non-destructive verification where conventional approaches are costly, complex, or impractical.

KEY BENEFITS

From Destructive Intervention to Non-Destructive Verification

LDRS technology enables a fundamental shift in nuclear waste management by providing critical inspection data without opening or repackaging containers.

01

Regulatory Compliance

Support compliance assessments through improved container characterization.

02

Lower Costs

Reduce repackaging requirements and associated disposal costs.

03

Reduced Risk

Minimize worker exposure associated with destructive inspection methods.

04

Long-Term Storage Confidence

Enable better-informed decisions for storage and disposal planning.
