Pennsylvania HB1501 establishes a Radiation Testing Pilot Program to monitor radiation levels at oil and gas drilling sites.

HB1501 creates the Radiation Testing Pilot Program within the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The program aims to enhance the detection of radioactive leachate at well sites and safeguard workers' health by measuring radiation exposure. Workers must wear dosimeters, and site operators must report radiation levels. The program will run for one year, starting six months after the bill's effective date. The department will issue a report to the General Assembly with recommendations for improving radiation safety and potentially expanding the program statewide.
