FAQ
Curious about our services or processes? Here are some of our most common questions to help you understand how we can help support your team.
-
Need Support Submitting Your Shielding Design?
If you find yourself overwhelmed or not sure how to submit your shielding design, you can rest assured that we have years of experience working directly with regulators and can submit your shielding design on your behalf.
-
Do You Have to Have a Radiation Survey After Installation?
As with most things in life, the answer is “It depends.” Many states and accrediting bodies do require a confirmatory Radiation Survey after construction of the barrier is complete. It’s best to reach out to us directly so we can give you guidance on whether a confirmatory Radiation Survey is required for your situation. Generally speaking, even if a confirmatory survey is not required by your regulatory or accreditation agency, it is still a good idea to have complete confidence that the shielding was installed as it was designed. We have seen many rooms with gaps, voids, and/or other penetrations in the barrier. It is best to find these before the room is put into use instead of finding out years later that the shielding you thought was there…wasn’t. If you need a shielding integrity evaluation to ensure shielding was installed as designed, feel free to reach out to see how we can help you.
