Radiation Safety

The management of radiation sources and practices for research and other activities involving radioactive materials or radiation sources must satisfy the licensing requirements and radiation protection standards of the MA Radiation Control Program, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, as well as state and local agencies. This is the responsibility of the Tufts University Radiation Hazard Control Groups.
