Radiation Safety

The College's Radiation Safety Program encompasses the New Hampshire Rules for the Control of Radiation. The primary elements of our Radiation Safety Program include written policies and procedures, training and periodic compliance inspections. Strict rules and regulations apply to the use of radioactive materials on the Dartmouth campus.

The Dartmouth College Radiation Safety Committee provides oversight and review of the Radiation Safety Program.

All radioactive materials, x-ray producing equipment, and high-powered lasers must be approved by the Radiation Safety Officer and the Radiation Safety Committee prior to acquisition.

For specific questions or to learn more about our Radiation Safety Program, please E-mail the Dartmouth College Radiation Safety Officer.
