1 Careers in Health Physics Eric W. Abelquist, Ph.D., CHP President, Health Physics Society August 2017
2 What Is Health Physics? Study of radiation and its effects on people Multidisciplinary Physics Biology Chemistry Environmental Science Nuclear Engineering Government and Policy
3 A Wide Range of Capabilities Radiation Detection Dosimetry Operational Monitoring Radiological Security Radiation Effects Radiation Risk Environmental Cleanup Radiological Waste Disposal Radiochemistry Radiation Policy and Regulation
4 Many Applications Career opportunities for such positions as technicians, scientists, project managers, supervisors and directors in various areas: Accelerators Power Reactors Medical Fields Environmental Health University/Research Industrial Military and Government Facilities
5 Education & Curriculum Resources Education Broad background in applied sciences and mathematics Associate s, bachelor s, master s and doctoral programs Work Experience (Internships) Certifications American Board of Health Physics (ABHP) Certified Health Physicist (CHP) American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists (NRRPT)
6 The Need for HP Professionals Operation of nuclear power plants Decommissioning of nuclear power plants New applications of nuclear technologies New diagnostic and radiation therapy modalities Large number of HPs reaching retirement age Number of HP graduates down 55% since 1995 Supply will NOT meet demand Credit: HASLOO/iStock/Thinkstock Credit: johnkellerman/istock/thinkstock

15 Power Generation Nuclear power supplies about 20% average of energy mix in U.S. About 100 operating nuclear power plants in U.S. Credit: slidezero_com/istock/thinkstock
16 Power Reactor Health Physicists Responsible for all phases of radiation protection at nuclear reactor sites Power reactor health physicists assess potential environmental impact of operations and to ensure the facilities comply with federal regulations
17 Environmental Health Physicists Assessing the environmental impact of released radionuclides using environmental transport models Decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) involves environmental remediation, radiation surveys, pathway analyses and laboratory analyses
18 Health Physicists Regulators Many occupational opportunities in the regulatory enforcement and occupational safety sectors Regulators guide work operations for nuclear power, medical, industry, environmental restoration, waste management and educational uses of radioactive materials
19 Government and Military Health Physicists Responsible for radiation safety and radiological engineering at facilities that process, store & assemble/disassemble nuclear weapons and associated operations including materials science, emergency response, and basic research in physics
20 Health Physicists Educators and Researchers Teaching opportunities within many programs in U.S. Research areas in health physics include: Improved radiological protection of workers, the public and environment from radiation exposures Improved monitoring, detection and assessment of radioactivity in the environment Better understanding of the biological effects of exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g. low-dose radiation effects)
21 Example Radiation Research Areas Refined radiation dose and risk estimates for occupational, nuclear medicine, nuclear security, and space exploration Improved radiation protective measures Development of novel radiation detection instrumentation Improved decontamination techniques Modeling of complex environmental pathways
