The Radiation Safety Department is based in NYU Medical School but it serves as an institutional resource for all components of New York University, and also for the NYU Hospitals Center, Bellevue Hospital Center, and VA Medical Center. The mission of the Department is to assist the NYU-related community to achieve its educational, research and clinical goals, while ensuring safety and compliance with the many regulations associated with the use of radioactive materials and machine sources of ionizing radiation. The Department negotiates and holds the various licenses and registrations which authorize the use of radiation sources at the various locations under its jurisdiction, and acts as an interface with the associated agencies. It implements a Radiation Safety Program, under the oversight of local Radiation Safety Committees for the various locations, and provides many support services.

The Radiation Safety Office is located in the NYU School of Medicine MSB G58 (opposite the Student Cafeteria) Mail should be addressed to NYU Medical Center, MSB G58, 550 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016. Several satellite offices provide local support services at other locations.
