A Q&A with RSCS Health Physics Professional, Witold Tatkowski NRRPT, CSP Radiation protection programs aren’t just binders on a shelf, they’re living systems designed to protect workers, the public, environment, and your organization. While radiation regulations vary by state, most state programs are based on, or closely aligned with, requirements established by the U.S. Nuclear… Read more »

Radiation safety programs are evaluated as a system, not a checklist. Yet many organizations still manage training, instrument calibration, and dosimetry through separate vendors—often without realizing how closely these elements are connected. As regulatory expectations increase and staffing remains lean, fragmented radiation safety programs introduce unnecessary risk. An integrated approach helps organizations improve compliance, efficiency,… Read more »

During RSCS’s in-person Radiation Safety Officer training course, students participate in a hands-on radiation response training, and gain realistic field experience without the risks of working with live radioactive sources. Using advanced SIM-Teq radiation survey training instruments and dosimetry, participants learn to respond to simulated radiation incidents in a safe, controlled environment. From initial background… Read more »

Radiation Protection Managers (RPMs) hold one of the most critical roles in a nuclear power plant. Tasked with protecting workers, the public, and the environment from the effects of radiation, their responsibilities are broad, high-stakes, and constantly evolving. In a recent conversation with Ellen Anderson, a former RPM and Director of Radiation Safety & International… Read more »
