Radiation Interactions and Dosimetry Group

The Radiation Interactions and Dosimetry Group develops, maintains, and disseminates the national measurement standards for the dosimetry of x rays, gamma rays, and electrons, and to engage in research on radiation interactions and effects to meet requirements for new standards and to address the needs of industry, medicine, and government.
