Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) provided overall radiological direction and assistance to the client in planning for the remediation of a Calciner Room which had once operated as the final stage of a uranium processing circuit. Afterwards, Golder provided operational radiation protection services during the remediation work. The project was somewhat unusual in that the contaminated steel from within the Calciner Room was recycled. In addition, the presence of concentrated uranium within the process equipment required stringent radiation protection measures beyond those normally employed for such remediation. This part of the project was completed successfully with worker radiation exposures well below the regulatory dose limits and with the effective protection of the environment.
