The EPA's Radiation Program carries out the Agency's mission to issue policy guidance and regulations, measure environmental radiation levels, evaluate the impact of radiation on public health, respond to emergencies involving radiation, work with state and local governments and industry groups to reduce harmful levels of radiation, and provide information to the public. 

Since May 1996 EPA has been designated Lead Federal Agency for responding to all radiation emergencies involving radioactive materials not controlled or licensed by another Federal Agency. This includes accidents involving naturally-occurring radioactive materials, atmospheric radiation fallout from foreign activities such as the Chernobyl accident, radioactive satellite impacts, and imported radioactive materials.
