RPSD Mission
The division promotes the interchange of technology related to:
• transport of particulate and electromagnetic radiation in materials and biological systems
• techniques and instrumentation to measure and calculate radiation fields
• quantification of radiation effects and nuclear heat deposition within materials.
Radiation protection management, ALARA, operation health physics, and radiation shield design and evaluation are key subject areas
