Laurentis Energy Partners Research Project Summary

Phase 1 – Source Term Characterization

Large scale and radiological source term characterization study of a subset of LLM to precisely characterize this material. Steps include Low Level Waste, CEMSR Sort & Segregate, Spectroscopy, and Low Level Waste Source Term Database.

Phase 2 – Real-time Analysis

Develop real-time spectral data analysis methods for beta-gamma-alpha mixed source terms. Steps include Monte Carlo, Low Level Waste Source Term Database, Real-Time Gamma Spectrometry, Free Release, Processible, and Non-Processible.

McMaster University CMSR Containment Tent

Laurentis Energy Partners’ recent project with McMaster University is a Containment Tent. CMSR stands for the Clean Energy-Materials Sorting and Recycling Research Initiative.
