Radioactive Materials at NIST Boulder

The Radioactive Materials at NIST Boulder Program establishes the requirements of an operational radiation safety program necessary for the implementation of NIST Order 7201 as it applies to the acquisition, use, and disposition of radioactive material (RAM) at NIST Boulder. The main goal of the program is to permit the beneficial use of radioactive materials for research and development purposes while ensuring doses are maintained as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA).
