Dose Reconstruction, Risk Assessment & Communication
Dose Reconstruction, Risk Assessment & Communication
RAC wrote the textbook on environmental dose and risk assessment. We develop custom tools and applications to calculate radiation doses and risks from environmental sources, and we assess the potential for health impacts from those doses. Need a dose or risk assessment for your facility? Need an audit of your emissions? Has your facility released radiation into the environment and you need to know the consequences? Contact RAC.
Performance Assessment & GoldSim Modeling
Performance Assessment & GoldSim Modeling
Performance assessments (PA) are required for regulatory compliance and are quantitative evaluations of potential releases of radioactivity from a disposal facility into the environment, as well as an assessment of the resultant radiological doses to predefined receptors. We are proficient in the application and development of models for radiological performance assessments, including GoldSim, and have proven expertise in this area.
Contaminant Release & Transport Modeling
Contaminant Release & Transport Modeling
RAC is the leader in reconstructing and estimating both historic and current releases of radioactive and chemical materials to the environment. We can also do predictive modeling for future scenarios.
Data Management, Analysis & Visualization
Data Management, Analysis & Visualization
RAC is not only the driving force behind radiation dose and risk science, but it also provides an industry-leading data management tool called RACER®. RACER® quickly turns key information into knowledge for decision makers.
The Latest News & Developments Impacting our Industry
Impacting a Wide Range of Industries
Experts who have shaped the field of radiological dose and risk assessment since 1977
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear Energy
RAC works with leaders in the nuclear energy industry, including Exelon and PSEG, to customize its online data access and analysis tool, called RACER®, to fit their specific needs for custom reporting and data presentation.
Radioactive Waste Management
Radioactive Waste Management
Radioactive waste management refers to the safe treatment, storage, and disposal of liquid, solid, and gas discharge from nuclear industry operations with the goal of protecting people and the environment. We are experienced in many aspects of radioactive waste management, including performance assessments.
Oil & Natural Gas TENORM Waste Analysis
Oil & Natural Gas TENORM Waste Analysis
Technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material (TENORM) is defined as material in which the radiological, physical, or chemical properties of the naturally occurring radioactive material have been concentrated or changed in some way that increases the potential for human exposures. We are leading experts in corrective action plans and dose and risk assessments for TENORM placed in both municipal and chemical/hazardous waste landfills.
Radiological Dose & Risk Assessment
Radiological Dose & Risk Assessment
RAC is the industry leader in environmental radiological dose and risk assessments, and our team members have more than 45 years of experience in developing and applying methods to determine how people may be exposed to contaminants in the environment and in assessing the health effects associated with such exposures.
Environmental Remediation
Environmental Remediation
RAC has a proven track record for facilitating sustainable environmental remediation. Our expertise covers the spectrum from quantifying the human and environmental risks at contaminated sites to determining appropriate cleanup levels, as well as evaluating and prioritizing sites for remediation.
Uranium Mining & Production
Uranium Mining & Production
Uranium mining and production involves radionuclides in the uranium and thorium decay series in processes that include 1) extracting the ore from the ground, 2) extracting uranium from the ore (milling), 3) treatment and disposal of waste products from milling, and 4) fabricating uranium fuel elements after enrichment. We are experts in the uranium fuel cycle, from mining to remediation.
Connecting Community, Science & Environment
RAC stresses resolving technical problems through high-quality science and the clear communication of scientific information. Since RAC was formed in 1977, RAC team members have served in nationally and internationally recognized organizations.
