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.

About OAS

The OAS is a nonprofit, voluntary, scientific and professional society incorporated in the District of Columbia. The membership of OAS consists of state radiation control directors and staff from the 35 Agreement States who are responsible for implementation of their respective Agreement State programs. The purpose of the OAS is to provide a mechanism for these Agreement States to work with each other and with the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on regulatory issues associated with their respective agreements.

Mentor SignUp

Submitted by Administrator-A... on Tue, 11/11/2008 - 17:23

We are starting a voluntary mentorship program to help improve the communication and performance of Agreement States both individually and as a whole. Using the OAS website forums, mentors will be able to answer questions, give suggestions or direct program staff to resources needed to solve problems within each of the IMPEP Performance Indicators. Forums have been around the internet for some time and have proven themselves a valuable resource for communicating between groups with similar interests.
