The Health Physics Society is a scientific and professional organization whose members specialize in occupational and environmental radiation safety. The primary purpose of the Society is to support its members in the practice of their profession. The Society also promotes public information preparation and dissemination, education and training opportunities, and scientific information exchange through conferences and meetings and posting current news items.

The objectives of the Power Reactor Health Physics Section are to: 

• advance the practice of radiation safety at power reactors, 
• encourage the highest standards of professional ethics and integrity in the practice of radiation safety at power reactors,
• enhance communication among professional and technical people involved in radiation safety at power reactors,
• communicate the safety and benefits of power reactors to the general public.
