Welcome to the Canadian Radiation Protection Association's Website
Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation sources are commonplace in our modern world and through understanding and management, provide significant benefits to all Canadians.
The Canadian Radiation Protection Association is a professional organization that supports the development and implementation of radiation safety programs in industry, medicine, research and the environment through scientific inquiry, public involvement and interaction with local, provincial, federal and international authorities.
This site provides information to CRPA members, radiation safety professionals, teachers, scientists and the general public. We encourage you to comment.

Revision of the Basic Safety Standards
International Basic Safety Standards for Protection Against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources The Basic Safety Standards (the BSS), originally published in 1996, strive to harmonize radiation protection and safety standards internationally. The purpose of the BSS is to establish basic requirements for protection against the risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation and for the safety of radiation sources that may deliver such exposure.
