ARPANSA - Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency

The Radiation Protection Series will replace the Radiation Health Series, formerly published by NHMRC and now the responsibility of ARPANSA, and the Codes published under the Environment Protection (Nuclear Codes) Act 1978 (repealed). All Nuclear Codes have now been republished as part of the Radiation Protection Series, and the remaining publications in the Radiation Health Series are currently undergoing review. Information on the review process and priorities can be found on the Radiation Health Committee Publication Program. Each publication contains contact details for Commonwealth, State and Territory Radiation Protection Authorities that were correct at the time of printing each particular publication, but may have been amended since. See Authorities for an up to date list of contact details.
