Radiation Protection Program
As required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission & the California Department of Public Health Radiologic Health Branch, UCLA is required to use, to the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based upon sound radiation protection principles to achieve occupational doses and doses to members of the public that are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).
What Radiation Safety Does
The Radiation Safety Division (RSD) at UCLA EH&S is the operational arm of the Radiation Safety Committee which is a regulatory required body consisting of faculty, clinicians, researchers and subject matter experts in the field of radiation use. The RSC is authorized by the Chancellor to manage the radiation protection program and oversee the safe use of radioactive materials and radiation-producing machines in clinical, research and academic settings at UCLA.
