RadSource MR: Mixed Reality Planning Tool for Radioactive Source Recovery
Designed for safer, faster, and more informed radiological site planning
Overview
RadSource MR transforms how teams plan end-of-life recovery operations for sealed radioactive sources. Using mixed reality headsets, the tool allows users to walk through real facilities, visualize equipment placement, capture spatial measurements, and identify safety considerations before any physical work begins. This reduces uncertainty, improves safety margins, and helps organizations streamline planning for high-risk radiological operations.
RadSource MR brings together measurement, documentation, and 3D visualization into one intuitive platform, making it easier for teams to understand site constraints, coordinate across organizations, and plan recovery operations with confidence.
Description
RadSource MR uses mixed reality to create a full preplanning environment tailored to radioactive source recovery. Users can measure room dimensions, map hazard zones, place virtual equipment like trailers or containment vessels, and generate a 3D mesh of the space. The tool also supports voice notes and mixed reality procedure viewing, helping teams document insights handsfree while wearing protective equipment. Visuals and planning sessions can be saved and shared for team coordination and regulatory communication.
These capabilities help planning teams eliminate guesswork, reduce time onsite, and prepare more effectively for complex or hazardous recovery operations.
Applications
RadSource MR is designed for organizations involved in radiological operations and high activity source management, including:
Nuclear facility operators and decommissioning contractors planning source removal at research reactors, medical institutions, and industrial sites.
Environmental remediation companies working with NORM cleanup operations.
Emergency response teams preparing for radiological incident response.
Regulatory agencies planning site inspections and compliance activities.
Advantage
Traditional planning for radioactive source recovery relies on manual measurements, paper procedures, and 2D diagrams. RadSource MR replaces these outdated workflows with an immersive, data rich mixed reality environment. It allows teams to identify staging areas, evaluate equipment paths, anticipate hazards, and validate safety zones before arriving onsite.
This approach not only improves safety but can significantly reduce planning time, minimize surprises during recovery operations, and support better regulatory communication. With millions of sealed sources worldwide and thousands requiring recovery each year, the need for a modern planning tool has never been greater.
RadSource MR fills that gap with a purpose built mixed reality solution that elevates safety, efficiency, and confidence in radiological operations.
