Radiation safety

Radiation safety measures are established and maintained throughout the University by the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC).

The committee supports the university's compliance with all relevant radiation legislation.

The use of ionising radiation is governed by the Protection from Harmful Radiation Act 1990 and its regulations. The RSC must approve the acquisition and/or use of radioactive material or irradiating apparatus before it is brought onto university premises or used by university staff or students.
