National Radon Safety Board

The National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) was founded as a single-purpose, nonprofit organization that became operational in 1998, following the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) discontinuation of its National Radon Proficiency Program. The overall structure of the NRSB was based on the model of the American Board of Health Physics (ABHP), which is widely recognized as the premier qualifying body for radiation safety practitioners. The criteria for the NRSB certification and accreditation credentials were based directly upon the EPA’s model of a privatized radon proficiency program.

Our Board Members

The NRSB has been governed since its inception by professionals from both the public and private sectors of the radon field and the structure of the Board provides a broad range of expertise. The Board members serve on a voluntary basis, which helps the NRSB maintain the lowest possible costs for the program. This provides direct benefits to the industry, its certificate holders, and the communities it serves.
