Radiation Program
About this Program
Steve Tarlton,
Program Manager
The Radioactive Materials Licensing Unit regulates facilities that process, use, store, transport
or dispose of radioactive materials in order to ensure that
radioactive materials are managed appropriately. The unit also
licenses nuclear medicine and radiology offices and linear
accelerators, inspects research facilities, oversees the
use of density gauges, tracks all devices that
contain sealed sources, and acts as first responder if
there is a release of radioactive materials.
Jennifer Opila, Radioactive
Materials Licensing Unit Leader
The
X-Ray and Mammography Unit regulates and assures the
safety of all x-ray and mammography machines and
centers. This group certifies inspectors that annually
check and certify the function of all x-ray machines.
Members of the group also inspect all mammography centers in
the state.
Brian Vamvakias, X-Ray and Mammography Unit Leader
The Uranium Projects Work Group conducts comprehensive technical reviews of
applications and oversees radioactive materials licensing for uranium
mills in the state under the Colorado Radiation Control Act and an
agreement between the Governor and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC). This oversight is designed to ensure protection of both
public health and the environment and encompasses a wide range of
regulatory, technical, scientific and socioeconomic factors.
The Radon Outreach Program
works with local agencies to perform radon evaluations in
homes and buildings. The program also responds to
inquiries about radon from the public by providing written
information and public presentations.
