Delaware regulatory expertise
We work fluently with the requirements of the Delaware Office of Radiation Control (ORC), part of the Division of Public Health, Delaware Health and Social Services. ORC registers and inspects facilities that use radiation machines, registers facilities that use radioactive materials, and registers radiation service providers under the Delaware Radiation Control Regulations (16 Del. Admin. Code 4465). Delaware is not an NRC Agreement State: radioactive materials licensing authority was transferred to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Region I) in 2007, so nuclear medicine and PET/CT licenses are issued by the NRC, while the facilities must still register with the State.
