Enjoying life in the Innovation Zone

Our laser sampler was still at the prototype stage when Viridian Consultants Ltd first exhibited in the Innovation Zone at the NDA Supply Chain Event in 2015

Enjoying life in the Innovation Zone A year later we were able to demonstrate how ViridiScope can be used for radiometric characterisation.  Then we were back in the Zone with our portable ICPMS , adding isotopics and stable elements to our toolbox. Finally, in 2018, following deployments for Magnox Ltd, EDF (UK), Nuclear Waste Services and Sellafield Ltd, we were awarded the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority Minister’s Award. So this year we felt like old hands as we introduced our new collaborators HausBots to...
