NSSI 50th Anniversary

-

 


Nuclear Sources & Services, Inc. (NSSI) was established in 1971 by Robert "Bob" Gallagheras a Texas-based manufacturer of radioactive tracer materials and radioactive sealed sources. In conjunction with these manufacturing services, NSSI offered additional services and products including chemical and radioactive remediation, leak testing, radiation instrument calibration, and radiation safety training.Over the last 50 years, NSSI grew becoming more specialized to encompass the treatment, storage, and disposal of radioactive, RCRA/non-RCRA, and mixed radioactive/hazardous wastes.  NSSI also possess the technology and capabilities for the recovery and reuse of Tritium through their Tritium Recovery Lab.  The Tritium Recovery Lab captures 99.99% of the tritium contained for the reuse in the research community as a safe alternative to land disposal.

 

NSSI is committed to delivering maximum value to our clients through our innovation in waste management and treatment technologies.  Coupled with our radiation consulting and field services, NSSI allows our clients to maintain compliance with regulatory and safety requirements; along with providing the mechanisms to fulfill their environmental and safety obligations to their stakeholders.

 

Even though Bob is no longer with us, all of us at NSSI will continue his vision of providing value to our clients through creativity, ingenuity, innovation, and resourcefulness.

 

NSSI is ready for any challenge and will continue to provide superior solutions to the client as well as the environment.  Looking forward to the next 50 years.

TRITIUM RECYCLING

 NSSI provides Tritium recovery services in excess of 99% of the contained Tritium for reuse and resale as an alternative to the land disposal of high Tritium content materials at its hazardous, mixed and radioactive waste processing center.  NSSI is currently accepting electron capture detectors, static devices, sealed neutron generator tubes and target assemblies with activities ranging from milli curies to multiple Curies. Tritium is a major problem from a land disposal standpoint as Tritium exchanges readily with ground water and tends to move easily through geologic structures. Land disposal sites limit the Tritium activity of incoming wastes to 1 micro Curie per cubic centimeter unless expensive over pack containers are utilized. As a result, Tritium generators are searching for alternatives to land disposal in order to protect the environment, limit operational expenses, and avoid future liabilities associated with the remediation of sites which have Tritium mobility problems
