National Radiation Protection Professionals Week will take place on November 5–11, 2017. This weeklong observance is dedicated to Radiation Protection Professionals for their contributions to public safety and henceforth will be observed annually for the week that includes November 8th, the day Röntgen discovered x rays and changed the world. National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) plans to make this an annual recognition and has collaborated with CRCPD and the Health Physics Society. NCRP also recognizes that there is a critical need for additional Radiation Professionals, and recognizing those today furthers this larger objective.
