European Commission's Radiation Protection Unit

The European Commission's Radiation Protection Unit is responsible for developing and implementing policies to ensure safe use of ionizing radiation across Europe. It provides guidance, sets standards, and monitors practices to protect people and the environment from harmful radiation exposure. This includes regulating medical procedures, nuclear safety, environmental monitoring, and emergency response. By working with member states and international organizations, the unit aims to minimize risks while enabling beneficial uses of radiation, such as medical treatments and energy production. Its goal is to promote safe, informed, and responsible management of radiation-related activities throughout Europe.
