Radioactive soil decontamination
How NSPS outperforms traditional radioactive soil decontamination solutions
Feature | Exlterra | Traditional Solutions |
---|---|---|
Passive operation | Uses natural soil processes to stabilize and neutralize contaminants. | Relies on energy-intensive machinery or complex chemical treatments. |
Non-invasive process | Works below the surface, preserving soil and vegetation. | Frequently requires excavation and removal of contaminated soil. |
Environmental safety | Avoids introducing new contaminants, preserving ecosystems. | Risk of secondary contamination from chemical or mechanical interactions. |
Long-term reliability | Provides a permanent solution with no degradation over time. | Often requires ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure safety. |
Cost-efficiency | Reduces total costs by eliminating energy and chemical dependencies. | High costs due to specialized equipment, transportation, and disposal. |
Adaptability | Effective across a range of radioactive contamination levels and soils. | Limited effectiveness in highly compacted or mixed contamination sites. |
Land preservation | Restores land for future use without additional remediation. | Leaves sites heavily disrupted and often unusable without further action. |
Maintenance-free | Requires no ongoing maintenance after installation. | Continuous oversight and periodic re-intervention often necessary. |
