| Health physics is the study of the risks of ionizing radiation to people & the epa. Neutron radiation, which can drive ionising radiation although non strictly an ionizing radiation itself, & which poses similar hazards, is too considered. | |

DOE Openness: Human Radiation Experiments The Office of Human Radiation Experiments, established in March 1994, leads the Department of Energy's efforts to tell the agency's Cold War story of radiation research using human subjects. Identifies and catalogs relevant historical documents from records scattered across the country. Radiation and Life Short introduction to the subject. NIOSH Occupational Energy Research Program Research program on risks of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation. Radiation and Health Physics Information and links from the University of Michigan health physics students. Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) U.S. multi-agency (EPA, NRC, DOE) consensus document that provides information on planning, conducting, evaluating, and documenting environmental radiological surveys of surface soil and building surfaces for demonstrating compliance with regulations.
