BIL analytical services are available on a stand-alone basis to support existing programmes or they can be integrated with additional related BIL services to provide in-depth support to nuclear operators, including:
HSE - support to an approved personal dosimetry service.
Environmental analysis on a wide variety of environmental matrices - liquids (water, milk, trade effluents, oils), solids (filter papers, grass, vegetation, soils, silts, sediments, food products, sea weed etc), aerial effluences, body fluids and tissues, fish and shellfish.
Arial and liquid effluent samples to ensure compliance with statutory authorisation.
BIL analytical services are operated within a rigorous quality control and management framework that includes UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025-2005.
