Radiation safety professionals are trained to ensure the safe use of radioactive materials. Familiar with the biological effects of radiation exposure, they monitor the use of radioactive material in industry, operate detection equipment, conduct diagnostic imaging, or otherwise makecertain that nuclear materials are properly used. New degree and certificate programsattract qualified candidates into the field. Two-year degrees permit graduates to immediately enter the work force or to choose to advance to bachelor’s and postgraduate degrees. Job growth results as the work force ages and retires and as industries and medical institutions use radiation in innovative ways.
