Wisconsin regulatory expertise
We work fluently with the requirements of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), Radiation Protection Section. Wisconsin became the 33rd NRC Agreement State effective August 11, 2003, so the DHS Radiation Protection Section licenses radioactive materials in the state. DHS also requires annual registration of X-ray devices, and diagnostic X-ray requirements are set out in Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 157, Subchapter VIII — including review and approval of shielding plans before construction.

- Radiation shielding design and certification
- Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) services
