Education & research

The education and research sector, including schools, colleges, universities, and other research institutions, utilises ionising radiation for a variety of applications. These range from science laboratories in schools using small radioactive sources for teaching, to advanced research involving x-ray equipment, particle accelerators and radiotracers. Ensuring compliance with UK radiation safety regulations is essential to protect staff, students, and the public. At Supanova, we provide expert Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) and Radioactive Waste Adviser (RWA) services tailored to the education and research sector. We support institutions in radiation safety management, regulatory compliance, training, and radioactive waste, ensuring that radiation use is conducted safely and legally.
