About Us

In 1997, Randy Kirk, an avid outdoorsman, was troubled by the disposal of nuclear materials. He didn’t like that disused radioactive isotopes would be stored in mountain and other storage facilities where they would continue to decay for hundreds to thousands of years and yet still pose a threat to society and his beloved outdoors. So, he used his background in X-ray technology to found Rad Source Technologies (Rad Source) where the company’s charter was created to “Develop commercially viable X-ray replacements for existing sealed source applications.” Rad Source has allowed him to realize his goal of isotope reduction. As of January 1st, 2011 it is estimated that Rad Source X-ray equipment has displaced over 2,000,000 (2 million) curies of radioactive isotopes.
