Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (TENORM)

As NORM/TENORM regulations expand across the U.S., navigating licensing requirements and site release standards can be complex—and costly if mismanaged. Today, eight states have issued NORM/TENORM-specific licensing regulations, with many others actively adopting radiation protection standards for licensing and for releasing facilities and sites for unrestricted use. NAC Philotechnics delivers end-to-end solutions that help reduce risk, maintain compliance, and control project costs.

  • Disposal, recycling, and reuse strategies
  • Hydrocarbon and liquid waste solidification
  • Decontamination of materials, equipment, instrumentation, facilities, and sites
  • Safe handling, packaging, and transportation support
  • Site reclamation, demolition, excavation, license termination, and release for unrestricted use
  • Radiological employee awareness training

NAC Philotechnics holds multiple mobile Radioactive Materials Licenses, enabling rapid deployment to licensed, unlicensed, or under-licensed sites and facilities for decontamination, waste characterization, packaging, and treatment. With deep experience managing accumulated NORM/TENORM waste, we help you identify the most practical, cost-effective path for your specific materials and site conditions. We also provide complete Health Physics and Radiation Protection support—including licensing, training, program development, audits and assessments, radiological characterization, and surveys for release for unrestricted use—so you can move from planning to closeout with confidence.
