Affiliated Organisation (AOrg) High Technology Sources Ltd recently supported AOrg Gemini Technology Ltd with the supply and transportation of a number of high activity gamma sources to Singapore for an impressive new calibration facility.  Gemini Technology supplied and installed this new machine during November last year for their new client in Singapore with AOrg NUVIA providing the software to programme the machine.  A great benefit of being an AOrg is meeting new organisations and being able to collaborate together to complete projects – even overseas!  The photo shows Director of Gemini Technology and AOrg Rep, Gary Teague, with the new calibration unit and their clients.  You can hopefully also see that Gary has passed on a copy of the first issue of Radiation Protection Today – let’s see just how far we can get the magazine!

We're also delighted to announce that SRP has two new Affiliated Organisations:
