What governs the intrinsic radiation safety program in the Air Force?

The intrinsic radiation safety program in the Air Force is governed by AFI 91-108. This Instruction outlines the policies and procedures for managing all aspects of radiation safety, specifically focusing on the control of ionizing radiation and ensuring compliance with safety standards. It addresses the responsibilities of various personnel in the implementation of safety measures and risk assessments associated with radiation use, thus promoting a culture of safety within the operational environment.

AFI 91-108 is integral for ensuring that personnel are not only aware of the hazards associated with radiation but also have the necessary training and resources to mitigate risks effectively. By establishing a comprehensive framework for radiation safety, the instruction helps maintain safety standards and legal compliance throughout Air Force operations involving radiological materials and equipment.
