The Health Physics Society (HPS)
is a professional organization dedicated to the development, dissemination, and
application of both the scientific knowledge of, and the practical means for,
radiation safety.
The objective of the Society is the protection of people and the environment
from unnecessary exposure to radiation. The Society is thus concerned with
understanding, evaluating, and controlling the risks from radiation exposure
relative to the benefits derived.
The objectives of the Central Rocky Mountain Chapter (CRMCHPS) are to aid in the work of Health Physics, to improve dissemination of information between individuals in this field and related fields, to improve public understanding of the problems and needs in radiation protection, to promote and improve Health Physics as a profession, and to promote within Colorado and Wyoming the activities of the Health Physics Society.
These objectives shall be accomplished by meetings, conferences, and publications with emphasis on all sciences which contribute to the knowledge of radiation effects and radiation safety.
