An Introduction to CRCPD

The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, Inc. (CRCPD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit non-governmental professional organization dedicated to radiation protection.

CRCPD's mission is "to promote consistency in addressing and resolving radiation protection issues, to encourage high standards of quality in radiation protection programs, and to provide leadership in radiation safety and education."

CRCPD's primary goal is to assure that radiation exposure to individuals is kept to the lowest practical level, while not restricting its beneficial uses.

CRCPD's primary membership is made up of radiation professionals in State and local government that regulate the use of radiation sources.  But anyone with an interest in radiation protection is eligible to join.  Please join our Partnership.
