Health Physics

The Health Physics Journal, the official journal of the Society, is issued monthly and contains refereed technical publications in the general field of radiation protection, technical notes and letters, book reviews, and a calendar of future meetings and events related to radiation protection or nuclear science.

Operational Radiation Safety

Operational Radiation Safety is a Society publication featuring peer-reviewed papers concerned with practical and applied health physics.

Special Publications

Examples of special publications include Society brochures, midyear symposia and conference proceedings, professional development school texts, position statements, policy papers, discussion papers, and standards of qualification and practice. A number of midyear proceedings and professional development school texts (previously know as summer school) are available from the Health Physics Society Secretariat or Medical Physics Publishing. The director of special publications is responsible for editing and publishing these materials for the Society and may be contacted at:

American National Standards

The Society also publishes American National Standards related to various aspects of radiation protection and safety. An American National Standard is intended to be a guide to aid manufacturing, consumers, and members of the general public. These standards are prepared in accordance with guidelines established and monitored by the HPS Standards Committee and undergo rigorous reviews before approval and issue. Questions about American National Standards should be referred to the Health Physics Society Standards Committee chair.
