As the radiation protection professional, it will also fall to the Health Physicist to assist in helping to formulate new standards of radiation protection practices to deal with this technology. Whether you work in fields as fundamentally different as accelerators or decommissioning, you will be exposed to this new technology and its interactions within the profession of health physics. From joint radiation and nanoparticulates cancer therapy to military and homeland security applications, you will see and maybe even use nanotechnology. This PEP will examine such interactions as nanotechnology-based radiation detectors, regulatory issues, risk assessment strategies, decommissioning, military, medical health physics and accelerator related interactions of Nanotechnology for the radiation protection professional.
