What is a radiological controls technician?

Radiological Controls Technicians are professionals responsible for monitoring, controlling, and minimizing exposure to radiation in environments where radioactive materials are used or stored. They ensure that safety procedures are followed, conduct radiation surveys, and maintain records of radiological data. Their work helps protect workers, the public, and the environment from unnecessary exposure to radiation. Radiological Controls Technicians often work in nuclear power plants, research facilities, hospitals, and other industries that use radioactive materials.
