EPA Head Quarters

Health Physics Society

The Health Physics Society (HPS) was formed in 1956 and is chartered in the United States as a non-profit scientific organization, and as such it is not affiliated with any governmental or industrial organization.

Purpose and Goals

The HPS is a professional organization dedicated to the development, dissemination, and application of both the scientific knowledge of, and the practical means for, radiation protection. The objective of the HPS is the protection of people and the environment from unnecessary exposure to radiation. The HPS is thus concerned with understanding, evaluating and controlling the risks from radiation exposure relative to the benefits derived. (From the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws of the HPS; Article II, section 1)

Membership of the HPS

The current membership in the HPS numbers over 6,400 and includes professionals, representatives of all scientific and technical areas related to radiation protection drawn form academia, government, medical institutions, research laboratories and industry from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The HPS has more than 350 members in nearly 50 foreign counties.
