Apparatus and methods are provided for establishing the nature and level of radioactive sources within waste, particularly of a compactable nature. The waste is brought to detectors which are sensitive to low energy level radiation and are provided with protection against dust contamination. Further detector configurations are provided to establish the presence of metallic material and / or higher energy level gamma emissions and / or detectors with a lower sensitivity to the emissions and / or detector configurations sensitive to neutrons are further provided. |
