New Jersey regulatory expertise
We work fluently with the requirements of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) radiation protection programs, part of the Division of Air Quality and Radiation Protection. X-ray machines are registered with NJDEP (Bureau of X-ray Compliance) under N.J.A.C. 7:28, which requires diagnostic X-ray quality assurance programs with an initial and annual medical physicist's QC survey. New Jersey became an NRC Agreement State on September 30, 2009, so the NJDEP Bureau of Environmental Radiation — not the NRC — licenses radioactive materials.
