NORM Monitoring & Remediation

Naturally occurring radioactive elements such as uranium, radium, and radon are dissolved in very low concentrations during normal reactions between water and rock or soil. Ground water that coexists with deposits of oil can have unusually high concentrations of dissolved constituents that build up during prolonged periods of water/rock contact.

The IAEA Safety Glossary defines remediation as “any measures that may be carried out to reduce the radiation exposure from existing contamination of land areas through actions applied to the contamination itself (the source) or to the exposure pathways to humans.”

Radioactive contamination of facilities and the environment can arise, for example, from poor management of facilities and wastes, or nuclear and radiological accidents. Environmental remediation deals with reduction of public exposure to radiation and mitigation of the radiological environmental impact caused by the contamination of environmental media, such as agricultural lands and products, urban environments, forests, and freshwater or marine environments.
