Who We AreWho We Are
Radiation Control serves all the residents of the State of Texas by protecting them and their environment from unnecessary radiation exposure. Sources of radiation are located, used, and transported throughout Texas on a daily basis.
Radiation ControlRadiation Control Who We Who We AreAre
Radiation Control ensures that persons who use radioactive materials and radiation machines do so in a safe and secure manner to protect the public in Texas.
Radiation Control provides the state emergency response team that responds to nuclear, transportation, reactor accidents, or terrorist activities involving radioactive materials and incidents involving radiation machines.
Radiation Control contributes to keeping radioactive materials out of the hands of terrorists.

How Services Are How Services Are FundedFunded
The radiation regulatory program is provided through efforts of technical staff who evaluate, license, inspect and investigate the uses of radiation sources in medicine, industry, education and research.
The program recovers all program costs through fees to the regulated entities.

The use of radioactive material, x-ray machines, and lasers are licensed by central office staff and inspected by staff in both field offices and central office. The program must remain compatible with that of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
