The Radiological Science and Engineering Laboratory is the Nuclear and Radiological Engineering and Medical Physics (NRE/MP) Program’s newest contribution to advancing nuclear and medical physics research methods.  This nearly 6000 square foot laboratory space was completed in the basement of the Gilbert Hillhouse Boggs Building on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in 2013 through support from the Georgia Tech NRE/MP Program and the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering. 

As an integral part of the NRE/MP Program, our aim is to be a premier academic research, development, testing, and evaluation facility in nuclear engineering, radiological engineering, medical physics, and non-proliferation and nuclear safeguards related studies.

While primarily emphasizing innovative research in nuclear engineering and medical physics, the RSEL was established to provide a wide variety of services tailored to the needs of faculty, staff, and external customers. We are a unique operation, with a wealth of technically skilled personnel and students eager to support all experimental aspects of R&D and assessment of nuclear and medical instruments/materials, serving organizations locally and throughout the nation.

We aim to push advancements in nuclear materials, isotopes, radiation detection & imaging, medical applications, devices, dosimetry, radiochemistry, and related research through our partnerships with other universities, government agencies, and industry.
