What Forum Interactive Ltd does

ANTECH Inc (also referenced as ANTECH Group) is a United Kingdom-based, privately held specialist in non-destructive radioactivity measurement for the global nuclear industry. Founded in 1987 and operating as an independent provider, the company serves government nuclear laboratories, nuclear power stations, and nuclear industry operators and contractors across multiple jurisdictions. Its customer-base descriptors emphasize precision measurement for nuclear safeguards, waste assay and sentencing, decommissioning support, and environmental monitoring.

The company's product portfolio spans five core instrument families and six service lines. Instruments include the Wide-Range Segmented Gamma Scanner (G3250-220), the Low Level Waste Segregation and Sentencing System QED (G3400-220), the Isothermal Calorimeters (CD285 Series) for plutonium and tritium, the Network Neutron Counter NNC N2000-2, the Active-Passive Drum Monitors (N2240 Series), the RadSearch gamma camera, and the UDASS transportable assay system. Services include the UDASS Drum Measurement Service, general Waste Measurement Services, Gamma Camera Surveys, Soil and Rubble Measurement Services, Environmental Services, and routine/breakdown maintenance. The underlying technology stack is rooted in radiometric calorimetry, segmented gamma spectroscopy, neutron detection (including differential die-away methods), and in-situ spectroscopic assay.

ANTECH monetizes through two streams: custom-engineered hardware sales of measurement instruments and systems, and on-site professional measurement and maintenance services. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales to nuclear industry buyers, with go-to-market supported by technical content on its website, conference presence at venues such as the Waste Management Symposium and NDA events, and third-party validation via industry awards. Named customers include Los Alamos National Laboratory and the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, the latter of which recognized ANTECH as Best SME in 2024; in 2025 the company won the ASME Best Oral Paper Award at WM2025 for its transportable assay work.

Note on data quality: the firmographic header identifying the subject as "Forum Interactive Ltd" (5 employees, Edinburgh, founded 1998) is inconsistent with the substantive company data, which uniformly describes ANTECH Inc (founded 1987, global nuclear measurement). This analysis is grounded in the substantive ANTECH Inc data; the Forum Interactive Ltd fields in the input do not yield independently verifiable information and appear to be a data-aggregation mismatch.

Core offering

ANTECH designs and manufactures non-destructive nuclear measurement instruments, including segmented gamma scanners, calorimeters, neutron counters, and drum monitors, and provides accompanying measurement, survey, and maintenance services for the nuclear industry. The instruments are used for nuclear waste assay, sentencing, and classification, as well as safeguards and environmental monitoring applications for government laboratories, power stations, and nuclear operators.

Product overview

ANTECH designs and manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of nuclear measurement equipment and services for the nuclear industry. The product line includes five core instrument categories: the Wide-Range Segmented Gamma Scanner (G3250-220) for segmented gamma scanning, the Low Level Waste Segregation and Sentencing System QED (G3400-220) for waste classification, the Isothermal Calorimeters (CD285 Series) for heat-producing radionuclide measurement, the Network Neutron Counter (N2000-2) for neutron detection, and the Active-Passive Drum Monitors (N2240 Series) for drum assay. Complementing the instrumentation, ANTECH provides six service offerings including UDASS Drum Measurement Service, Waste Measurement Services, Gamma Camera Surveys using the RadSearch Camera, Soil and Rubble Measurement Services, Environmental Services, and maintenance support. The company leverages over thirty years of academic research into nuclear measurement technologies.
