RADIOCHEMISTRY
Hazen has provided analytical services for the uranium mining and processing industries since the early 1960s. An outgrowth of this activity has been the Radiochemistry Laboratory, which specializes in the determination of the long half-life radionuclides of the uranium and thorium decay series and radionuclides produced from nuclear power generation. These isotopes emit alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. We hold a variety of state and federal certifications to perform radiochemical testing on drinking water from domestic and foreign sources. Typical parameters include gross alpha/beta survey, radium-226, radium-228, radon, tritium, radiostrontium, and radiocesium.
