What is a radiological control technician RCT?

Radiological Control Technicians (RCTs) are specialists responsible for monitoring and controlling radiation levels in environments where radioactive materials are used, such as nuclear power plants, research facilities, and medical institutions. They conduct radiation surveys, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and help protect workers and the public from unnecessary exposure. RCTs also provide training, maintain records, and assist with decontamination procedures when needed. Their work is critical in maintaining a safe and compliant workplace wherever radiation is present.
