International Radiation Protection Association - The primary purpose of IRPA is to provide a medium whereby those engaged in radiation protection activities in all countries may communicate more readily with each other and through this process advance radiation protection in many parts of the world.
The Society for Radiological Protection - The Society's full objectives are to promote the science and art of radiation protection, disseminate knowledge and support relevant education and promote high professional standards to the public benefit.
IAEA - The IAEA is the world's center of cooperation in the nuclear field.
