The PNRI establishes the national standards for ionizing radiation through the Secondary Standards Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL). The SSDL is operated to ensure that: (a) national standards for ionizing radiation in the country are developed and maintained, and (b) radiation instruments are calibrated to give correct and accurate indications of the levels of ionizing radiation. The radiation monitoring instruments calibrated are:

Radiation Waste Management Services |
||||
The applications of radioactive sources in the medical, industrial, and research facilities result to the generation of radioactive wastes which can be a hazard to human health and the environment if not managed properly. RPSS operates and maintains the centralized storage facility for low and intermediate level radioactive waste including:
|
||||
Leak Testing/ Swipe Sample Analysis | ||||
RPSS also provides technical support to authorized users of ionizing radiation to ensure that their facility complies with radiation safety standards. Leak testing of sealed sources and swipe sample analysis services are provided to determine the presence of residual activity in nuclear devices. These aim to confirm the integrity of sealed sources and reduce risk of contamination or internal exposure of personnel. |

Radiation Monitoring and Hazard Evaluation | ||||
RPSS also provides technical support to authorized users of ionizing radiation to ensure that their facility complies with radiation safety standards.

PhilDose (Visit Site) | ||||
The Philippine Dose Registry (PhilDose) is a web-based information system that contains radiation dose records of occupationally-exposed workers in the Philippines. The registry can store doses received from Gamma, Beta and Neutron radiation. The PhilDose, is the first Dose Registry for occupational radiation exposure in the Philippines. It is currently maintained and updated by the RPSS of PNRI. (a) An effective dose of 20 mSv per year averaged over five consecutive years;
(b) An effective dose of 50 mSv in any single year; (c) An equivalent dose to the lens of the eye of 150 mSv in a year; and (d) An equivalent dose to the extremities (hands and feet) or the skin of 500 mSv in a year. As numbers of monitored personnel is increasing over the years, having the PhilDose will allow better monitoring and assessment of occupational exposure profiles in the Philippines. The Registry is a means to track exposure history of workers in the country to monitor and assess their exposure profiles. It will result to an improved evaluation of risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. The implementation of the registry is vital in establishing more opportunities that will help strengthen the radiation protection infrastructure of the country. |
