National Radiation Protection Board (NRPB)

The National Radiation Protection Board (NRPB) is a UK organization responsible for providing advice and guidance on protecting people and the environment from the risks of ionizing radiation, such as that from medical imaging, nuclear power, and industrial processes. It assesses potential radiation hazards, sets safety standards, and ensures effective practices are in place to minimize exposure. The NRPB helps inform government policies, supports healthcare safety, and promotes public awareness about radiation risks, aiming to balance the benefits of radiation use with the need to protect health and safety.
