NCRP 162 PDF

The purpose of this Report is to provide guidance for performing self assessments of radiation-safety programs. The self-assessment process is important for all institutions that use radioactive material or radiation-generating devices. These institutions range from a college using small radioactive sources in the physics department to a large nuclear power plant complex. Of course, the extent and rigor of a self-assessment program will be tailored to the size and complexity of the radiation-safety program at the institution.
