Radiation Protection Technical Support (RP-3)

The Radiation Protection Technical Support Group mission is "To enhance science and technology development by engendering excellence in the radiation protection program of the Los Alamos National Laboratory." A cadre of skilled health physicists, biophysicists, nuclear engineers, and related professional scientists are employed by the group to develop and support a high-quality radiation protection program (RPP) for the Laboratory. In general, the group is responsible for a wide-ranging set of radiation protection activities that directly assist in sustaining the Laboratory core competencies; particularly those associated with nuclear weapons science-based stockpile management. These radiation protection activities include Radiological Engineering, Reproductive Health Assistance Program, Radiological Training, Radiation Generating Device support, Accountable Radioactive Sealed Source support, and Health, Safety, and Radiation Protection at the Nevada Test Site.
