Radiation Safety

The love of the sport – radiation is a fascinating topic to us and the safety aspects relating to radiation are extremely important. In our experts, a strong theoretical and practical expertise is combined, which allows us to visualize the big picture without forgetting practical aspects. We offer our expertise in a broad range from the nuclear industry to research facilities and other radiation users.

We have qualified radiation safety experts (STA) under the new Finnish Radiation Act from both nuclear energy and industry & research competencies. Additionally we have comprehensive know- how of radiation, its use and protection from a variety of areas such as radiation analyses and calculations, regulations, radiochemistry, and risk and safety analyses.

Radiation is a good servant but a poor host. With sufficient expertise and planning, the use of radiation can be made safe even in difficult environments. Authority requirements strongly direct the use of radiation, but in the end the goal is to make sure that the use of radiation is safe in all conditions, both for our customers’ employees and the general public.

The practical experience, strong theoretical knowledge base and the understanding of authority requirements guarantee a comprehensive understanding of radiation safety from all points of view. Our radiation safety experts can perform all the duties and tasks required by the new Act without our customers having to train or recruit their own experts, as the duties are mainly intermittent and do not require a full-time resource. The know-how gathered over the years of diverse projects at Platom enables us to provide the right experts for the job to make sure our customers’ needs are met. For us, safety comes first.
