Sovereign offers a full range of services to hazardous, radioactive, and mixed waste markets. Sovereign personnel develop site-specific dose-based release criteria via modeling using standard industry computer codes such as RESRAD, RESRAD-BUILD, D&D, and Microshield.

We provide program and project planning, budget analysis, and technical expertise to solve challenging issues associated with hazardous and radioactive wastes, facility and site closures, as well as site reclamation.
