Alpha Safety

What Alpha Safety does

Alpha Safety is a privately held U.S. nuclear safety solutions company headquartered in Golden, Colorado, that consolidates four specialist business units — Nuclear Filter Technology (NFT, founded 1986), the Engineered Products Division (EPD, in Carlsbad, NM), Pajarito Scientific Corporation (PSC, founded 1986 in Santa Fe as a Los Alamos National Laboratory technology transfer), and Radiation Protection Systems (RPS, operating since 1978). The company designs, manufactures, and services products used in the handling, storage, and transportation of radioactive nuclear materials and waste, including the proprietary SAVY-4000 plutonium container, Non-Destructive Assay (NDA) systems, Criticality Accident Alarm Systems (CAAS), the Perma-Con modular containment system, HEPA filtration and carbon absorber systems, and custom Type B transportation casks. Its Carlsbad manufacturing facility is NQA-1 nuclear-quality certified, equipped with 14 CNC machines and laser-weld capability, and positioned within 30 miles of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).

Commercially, Alpha Safety operates a direct enterprise field sales model targeting U.S. federal nuclear agencies — principally the DOE and NNSA, including site-specific engagements at Savannah River National Labs (Surplus Plutonium Disposition), and international counterparts such as Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, and TEPCO's Fukushima site. Revenue is generated through three mechanics: (1) one-time sales of proprietary nuclear safety products and equipment, (2) engineering and NQA-1 manufacturing services (fabrication, precision machining, custom containers), and (3) integrated project services including waste characterization, field engineering, on-site testing, and maintenance using security-cleared personnel. Pricing is contact-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer mix extends into commercial nuclear operations and emerging Small Modular Reactor (SMR) and HALEU fuel-cycle work, but the DOE/NNSA mission remains the primary demand driver.
