Radiation Control
Electronic Product Radiation Regulation
Programs that are responsible for regulating the use of radiation producing machines that are used in medical and other settings. Included are programs that establish standards for, register and/or inspect equipment such as diagnostic x-ray or ultrasonic imaging devices, microwave or ultrasound diathermy devices, microwave blood warmers or sterilizers, laser coagulators, x-ray or electron accelerators, sunlamps, ultraviolet dental curing devices, microwave ovens, television receivers and monitors, entertainment lasers, industrial x-ray systems, cordless and cellular telephones, industrial RF sealers of plastics and laminates and laser CD players. Electronic product radiation is any ionizing or non-ionizing electromagnetic or particulate radiation; or any sonic, infrasonic, or ultrasonic wave, which is emitted from an electronic product as the result of the operation of an electronic circuit in such a product.
Programs that are responsible for regulating civilian use of nuclear energy to protect public health and safety and the environment from the effects of radiation from nuclear reactors that are used to generate electricity or in other settings. Activities include selecting sites for nuclear facilities; licensing the possession, use and handling of source nuclear materials including uranium and thorium, enriched uranium and plutonium, material made radioactive in a reactor, and residues from the milling of uranium and thorium; licensing nuclear power plants and plant operators; and inspecting nuclear facilities with regard to radiological health and safety, physical security and waste control.
Radioactive Materials Licensing/Inspection
Programs that are responsible for ensuring the safe use of radioactive materials in industrial, medical, educational and research applications by issuing licenses which include conditions for the use of such materials and conducting inspections to ensure compliance. Facilities requiring a license generally include universities and laboratories that conduct scientific research; medical and veterinary hospitals that use nuclear materials in diagnostic and treatment procedures; nuclear pharmacies that manufacture and distribute radiopharmaceuticals; blood banks that use radioactive materials to sterilize blood; companies that sterilize medical supplies, decontaminate facilities or process waste; and other similar organizations.
