Radiation producing machines, X-Ray equipment, are valuable research and medical tools when used properly. Northern Illinois University is a state licensed X-Ray facility and as such, the Radiation Safety Office will work with personnel to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations governing the use of radiation producing equipment in University research and the University Health Services. The Office provides training to all levels of personnel and, as necessary, provides monitoring for radiation in X-Ray laboratory spaces.
In order to use radiation producing equipment at NIU, interested faculty members must submit an application to the Radiation Safety Committee for review and approval. For more information call Dave at 815-753-1093.
