Radiation Protection
Backing your research at every step—helping you get authorized quickly, navigate complex regulations, and safely manage radioactive materials so you can focus on advancing science.
Radioactive materials play a vital role in research at Penn State, including work that involves chemicals or biological materials. Because their use is tightly regulated at the federal and state levels, our Radiation Protection Program provides the guidance and support you need to obtain authorization, meet compliance requirements, and safely manage your radioactive resources throughout their lifecycle.
As a service to other radiation safety professionals, Penn State hosts an annual conference to share and collaborate with our colleagues. For more information, see Annual Radiation Safety Roundtable.
