The OAS is a progressive professional society whose members and activities constitute an invaluable resource to the regulation of radioactive materials and radiation safety across the nation. Together through committed, collaborative partnerships with state and federal agencies and other professional organizations, we will:
- Improve regulation of radioactive material;
- create a unified culture that values its members’ participation and opinions; and
- ensure that the OAS stands strong in representing its members who regulate the majority of radioactive material facilities within the United States.
