The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD) is a nonprofit, nongovernmental professional organization dedicated to radiation protection. CRCPD works to promote consistency in addressing and resolving radiation protection issues, to encourage high standards of quality in radiation protection programs, and to provide leadership in radon safety education.  CRCPD’s primary goal is to assure that radiation exposure to individuals is kept to the lowest practical level, while not restricting its beneficial uses.  CRPCD’s primary membership is made up of radiation professionals in state and local government that regulate the use of radiation sources.

The CRCPD currently has three committees pursuing activities related to radon listed below. These committees consist of voting and advising associate members from state radiation programs and advising affiliate members who come from outside of state programs and a have an interest in CRCPD activities. The links will open the current working group fact sheet from the CRCPD website:

• E-25 Committee on Radon. Addresses all activities relating to the reduction of radon levels in homes and other buildings, works closely with EPA on national efforts to address the radon issues, and provides guidance to states on various radon reduction programs.
• E-41 - Task Force on Radioactivity in Building Materials. E-41 is task with writing a white paper that state radiation control staff and/or state radon contacts could use as guidance when answering citizens questions concerning radioactivity in granite countertops or other building materials and develop a protocol for state radiation control staff and/or state radon contacts to us in surveying countertops and countertop materials and to determine if they are a significant hazard or if used inside homes.
• SR-R Suggested Regulations - Radon. Develops suggested state regulations for Part R (Radon).
