Curie Environmental Services’ Radiological Field Services are specialized solutions designed for situations where radioactive materials must be physically removed, remediated, or managed at the source. These services go beyond routine waste pickups or mail-back shipments—delivering hands-on technical work at your facility or field location.
Whether it’s decommissioning a contaminated space and systems, license termination, or removing nuclear gauges these services are tailored to meet specific, project-based objectives. Each engagement is supported by meticulous planning, licensed expertise, and strict adherence to NRC, DOT, and Agreement State regulations.
By leveraging Curie’s radiological field service expertise, customers gain access to seasoned radiation professionals equipped to navigate complex regulatory environments and perform high-risk work safely, efficiently, and compliantly.
Every field service project begins with a detailed consultation to understand your site’s unique radiological conditions. From planning and assessment to execution and documentation, Curie applies a structured yet flexible approach—ensuring each step is compliant, efficient, and aligned with your facility’s safety goals.

Facility Decommissioning
When radioactive materials are present on floors, walls, equipment, or work areas, safe decontamination is critical for regulatory compliance, operational continuity, and employee safety. Curie Environmental Services specializes in radiological facility decontamination, whether in response to a spill, for routine site maintenance, or as part of a decommissioning project.
Our experienced field technicians deploy industry-approved methods to effectively remove radiological contamination from surfaces, systems, and structures. From controlled lab spaces to industrial sites, we tailor our approach based on contamination levels, facility type, and end-use goals.
We begin with a thorough review of your inventory, radiation survey data, and site layout to develop a compliant, cost-effective approach.
We apply a range of approved methods—from gentle surface cleaning and HEPA vacuuming to more advanced techniques such as mechanical abrasion or chemical applications.
Hundreds of thousands of radioactive items are discarded every year — many incorrectly. Our recycling programs are built to intercept them, keeping hazardous materials out of the waste stream and putting environmental responsibility back in your hands.
Post-decontamination surveys are conducted to confirm results and provide the documentation required for reuse, release, or regulatory closure (our staff have over 15 years of MARSSIM based decommissioning experience).
Curie Environmental Services provides specialized removal of fixed nuclear gauges used in manufacturing, material analysis, and other industrial processes. Whether you’re decommissioning equipment, upgrading systems, or closing a facility, our team ensures each removal project is executed safely, compliantly, and with minimal disruption to your operations.
Our field technicians follow strict NRC, Agreement State, and DOT protocols, handling every detail from radiation surveys and disassembly to secure packaging and coordination with licensed disposal or recycling facilities.
A thorough evaluation of your gauge inventory, license status, and site conditions. We perform decay calculations and review NRC, Agreement State, and DOT compliance requirements to plan a fully compliant removal.
On-site assessments verify radiation levels, gauge integrity, and identify any site-specific hazards—allowing us to tailor the removal approach to your facility’s unique needs.
Technicians use specialized tools and follow ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles to safely remove gauges under continuous radiation monitoring.
We manage DOT-compliant packaging, labeling, and documentation, followed by secure transport to licensed facilities for final recycling or disposal.
Nuclear Gauge Removal
NORM/TENORM Waste Management
Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) and Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (TENORM) are common byproducts in industries like oil & gas, mining, and water treatment—often found in scales, sludges, filters, and contaminated equipment. These materials present both safety hazards and strict regulatory challenges that many generators are not equipped to handle internally.
Curie delivers tailored field service solutions to safely assess, manage, and remove NORM/TENORM waste at its source. Whether you’re dealing with routine maintenance waste or complex site remediation, our team provides the expertise, radiation protection, and logistical coordination required for safe, compliant management.
We perform radiation surveys, exposure monitoring, and source identification to understand your site’s specific radiological profile. Our team also provides health physics support and job-site safety briefings as needed.
Identification and classification of NORM/TENORM-contaminated materials followed by safe removal from equipment, piping, and surfaces using appropriate cleaning techniques.
Materials are properly packaged, labeled, and documented in accordance with federal and state regulations. We handle secure transportation to licensed disposal facilities with complete compliance oversight.
