Radiation Monitoring
What we do?
MMTC is capable of providing Radiological Monitoring Services. We specialize in monitoring equipment and instruments, such as medical equipment and industrial applications, that contain cobalt-60. Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope of cobalt with a half-life of 5.27 years. It emits gamma rays, a type of radiation regulated by ATOM Malaysia.
Our clients, importers, and transporter companies often ship products containing cobalt-60 via sea freight to Port Kelang. To comply with ATOM Malaysia’s regulations, we conduct radiation level monitoring. Prior to the vessel’s arrival, we board and inspect the containers to ensure there are no leaks. We also measure radiation levels to verify the safety of the goods before offloading them to designated warehouses.
We monitor the goods at least twice a day to ensure ongoing safety. Upon completion of the monitoring process, we provide a comprehensive report to our clients. This report can be used for their records and submitted to authorities if required or in the event of an incident.
Our procedures and guidelines are based on those approved by ATOM Malaysia. We hold a license granted by ATOM to perform these radiological monitoring tasks.
Feel free to contact us if you need further information about the entire process.
