Thermo Fisher Scientific, based in Sugar Land, Texas, is a manufacturer of nuclear based continuous level, point level, and density gauges. We also provide nuclear disposal services for sealed source nuclear instruments. Thermo Fisher Scientific has previously been known as Thermo Electron, Kay Ray, KSI, TN-KSI, Texas Nuclear, TN Technologies, Sensall, TMT, Thermo MeasureTech, and Chicago Nuclear. Our nuclear based continuous level, point level, and density gauges were manufactured in Round Rock, Texas and Mount Prospect, Illinois prior to our relocation to our present Sugar Land, Texas facility. We will accept ownership of your radioactive material contained in any of the devices manufactured by our legacy entities. In addition to these nuclear products we accept other manufacturer’s densitometer’s only if the sources are sealed.

(1) Sealed sources. Persons who receive, possess, or process sealed sources of radioactive material as radioactive waste from other persons are exempt from this section, provided that: (A) encapsulated sources are tested upon receipt and determined to have less than 0.005 microcurie of removable contamination; and (B) sealed sources of radioactive material remain in sealed form after receipt.”
Thermo Fisher Scientific provides the transfer of radioactive material service as allowed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Agreement State regulations. Our service is available for most registered sealed sources and devices. When Thermo Fisher Scientific accepts ownership of a source; all future liability for that radioactive material is transferred to us.
Thermo Fisher Scientific will also accept our legacy products ion chamber detectors that contain compressed gas. Thermo Fisher Scientific will evaluate these detectors upon receipt and, if appropriate, dispose of the detectors in accordance with applicable regulations.

Nuclear Source Disposal
We provide disposal packages to fit your specific needs. We have a licensee-to-licensee transfer so there is less paperwork for your RSO. We make the process simple and safe. We have four levels of source disposal services:
Level one- You ship the source to Thermo Scientific
Recommended for customers who have completed our 40-hour Radiation Safety Course and who have a specific license to decommission gauges. We provide instructions and sample shipping papers. Ownership transfers to Thermo Fisher Scientific upon receipt at our factory.
Level two- we supervise the removal and prepare the source for shipment
This service is recommended for all general and specific licensees who are not authorized to remove sources from service. We provide Health Physics Technicians at your site to monitor the removal. The technicians will provide on-site leak testing, necessary surveying and inspection of all souce packaging. Then we package the source and complete all necessary surveys, markings, labeling and shipping papers required by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
Level three- We supervise the removal of the source, prepare it for shipment and transport it
This includes the same service as Level Two, but we also provide transportation. Level Three service is recommended for customers who want to transfer ownership at their plant, or when common carrier pickup is not practical.
Level four- We download the source at your site
In the event of an emergency at your site such as damaged gauges due to fire or corrosion, or when it's impractical to ship the entire unit, Level Four services are recommended. We provide a team to monitor the removal of the sources. The souce capsules are removed from their skids (or holders) and transferred to our DOT Type A or Type B containers. We provide the transportation.
