Programs
& Projects - Historic LLRWOther Sites
In addition to the main historic waste sites, the LLRWMO undertakes cleanup of small quantities of historic waste produced by companies associated with radium applications, such as manufacturing, maintenance, and repair of radium dials for watches and aircraft instruments.
Waste has been found in several provinces including radium dial inventories and small volumes of contaminated soil or building materials.
On average, waste is picked up at 5 to 10 locations per year. The majority of this work is part of a cooperative program with the CNSC to locate and collect inventories of materials containing radium.
