Radiation Protection

Radioactive materials and radiation-producing devices are common, important tools in research, teaching and clinical practice. EHS supports the safe use of these tools.

The Radiation Protection program provides guidance and oversight to users of radiation-producing devices and radioactive materials on campus. The program also provides guidance for users of nonionizing radiation, including sources of ultraviolet, magnetic, microwave and radiofrequency fields.
