The purpose of the Radiation Safety Program is to provide the basic guidelines and procedures for safety that will protect workers, facilities, the general public and the environment.
The program is tasked with monitoring the procedures and processes necessary to demonstrate compliance with the university’s license for use of radioactive materials and radiation-producing machines.
