Radiation Safety
The Radiation Safety Program at Florida State University supports the safe use of radioactive materials and radiation-producing equipment in research, teaching, and operational activities across the University. The program works to ensure regulatory compliance, minimize radiation exposure, and protect university personnel, students, the public, and the environment.
Radiation Safety Programs
Primary Programs:
- Radiation safety training for faculty, staff, and students who work with radioactive materials or radiation-producing equipment
- Radiation and contamination surveys
- Radioactive waste collection, segregation, packaging, and disposal
- Radioactive materials laboratory inspections
- Radiation detection instrument calibration and performance verification
- Radioactive sealed source leak testing
Additional Programs:
- Radioactive materials licensing and research use proposal review and approval
- X-ray and other radiation-producing device registration and oversight
- Radioiodine and other radionuclide bioassay monitoring programs
- Non-ionizing radiation safety, including laser systems, magnetic fields, and radiofrequency hazards
Radiation Safety Committee (RSC)
The Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) provides institutional oversight of the safe use of radioactive materials and radiation-producing equipment at Florida State University, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and university radiation safety policies.
