R&IENL; Radiation and Indoor Environments
National Laboratory

The Radiation and Indoor Environments National Laboratory is an Environmental Protection Agency laboratory dedicated to protecting the public and the environment by minimizing exposure to radiation and indoor air pollution through environmental measurements, applied technologies, and education.

RIENL provides innovative technology and services through three centers:

 

Scientist conducting radioassays
Center for Radioanalysis
and Quality Assurance

RIENL specializes in the development, demonstration, and employment of technologies in field applications. For example, RIENL's technical staff operate state-of-the-art fixed and mobile laboratories, monitoring vehicles, and an extensive collection of calibrated field instrumentation to support the cleanup of contaminated sites. RIENL also conducts studies in radiation-contaminated areas and performs site-specific computer modeling and dose assessments.
