Quintessa

Environmental Radioactivity

Quintessa staff are specialists in understanding the behaviour of radionuclides in environmental systems. Our capabilities extend from understanding experimental data to modelling radionuclide movement through the environment, and evaluating potential impacts to humans and wildlife.

The capability to sufficiently characterise, understand and appropriately represent the behaviour of radionuclides in environmental systems is critical to understanding the risks posed. This, in turn, is essential information in supporting decision making across a wide range of situations.  Quintessa’s extensive experience encompasses radionuclide behaviour on long and short timescales within both evolving and steady state systems. Examples include:
