Naturally occurring radioactive material

Subsea, there's lots of concrete in terms of concrete mattresses that's used as pipeline protection.

And then we get some more of the exotic type wastes such as norm, which is naturally occurring radioactive material.

Mercury as well.

And then any kind of oils, chemicals, asbestos, perhaps, depending on the age of the assets.

What is it? Where does it come from? And why does it require specialist handling?

Yeah, of course.

So NORM, as I mentioned earlier, stands for Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material.

Anyone who hears of radiation quite often gets a little bit scared.
