Welcome to the Alabama Department of Public Health, Office of Radiation Control web site. This office ensures the protection of the public from excess exposure to ionizing radiation through a variety of activities, including the registering, licensing and inspection of uses of ionizing radiation, performing environmental monitoring, providing emergency training and preparedness and through public and professional education. Duties of the Office of Radiation Control are divided into four branches: Radioactive Materials Licensing, Radioactive Materials Compliance, X-Ray Compliance, and Emergency Planning.

It is our hope that you will find this web site helpful and easy to use. We encourage you to visit this site any time you have questions regarding ionizing radiation in Alabama. Please make sure you visit our What’s New? page for the latest changes or additions to our site. If you cannot find an answer to your question, please feel free to contact our staff at (334) 206-5391.
