    Radiation Protection Programs

    BRP is hiring!

    Please check the job postings often as this link is frequently updated!

    It has come to our attention that a very authentic looking email has been circulating claiming to be from the Bureau of Radiation Protection. This email is requesting that registrants provide personal information or have their registrations terminated. The Bureau will never solicit registrants for personal information. Please disregard this email and inform the Bureau if you receive it.

    DEP's Bureau of Radiation Protection directs the statewide radiation protection program with the goal of protecting the citizens of the Commonwealth from unnecessary exposure to radiation. This includes policy, technical, and fiscal management for the program areas of: radioactive material, radiation producing machines, radon, nuclear safety, low-level radioactive waste, emergency response, and decommissioning and environmental surveillance. The office ensures central and regional staff communicate uniformly and implement and effectively support statewide program activities such as licensing, registration, certification and inspections.

    For inquiries related to radioactive material and radiation-producing machines, please use our new resource account RA-EPRPControl@pa.gov.

    For inquiries related to radioactive materials licensing actions regarding Pennsylvania specific and general licenses, please use our new resource account RA-EPRPControl@pa.gov.
