Decommissioning of Two Former Reactor Sites
Ameriphysics was tasked to provide decommissioning services to former research reactor sites in MI and GA. Ameriphysics performed MARSSIM final status surveys at both sites which were successfully released for unrestricted reuse.
Ameriphysics Completes its 30th Cyclotron Decommissioning Project
Ameriphysics characterized and removed a Siemens Eclipse cyclotron from a facility in Salem, VA. The cyclotron and related waste were transported to a licensed disposal facility in Andrews, TX.
WHO WE ARE
Ameriphysics is a radiation health-physics company that provides decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) and related radiological services. We possess a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission radioactive materials license that authorizes the company to perform D&D, site characterization, waste management, and training.
The company was formed in 2008 to offer turnkey decommissioning services to complex sites that require unique radiological support, and in 2009 Ameriphysics became the first firm in the U.S. to be specifically licensed to decommission cyclotrons. Due to successes on more than 260 projects, Ameriphysics enjoys a top spot among U.S. based D&D service providers.

Using the Correct Vernacular: Fusion Reactors or Fusion Machines?
Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei are combined in a manner that releases a large amount of energy. Because the nuclei are fused when they are accelerated toward one another, a fusion machine is a type of particle accelerator. The term...
