Radioactive Material & Laser Usage Applications/Safety Plans
Radioactive Material
In order to use radioactive material and lasers at The University of Texas Dallas, researchers must go though an approval process. This process starts with the researcher contacting the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) in the Office of Environmental Health and Safety at x4111. The Researcher must completely fill out the form for radioactive material usage. In the application, the researcher must be specific in where and how the isotope will be used, stored and disposed of. All staff must be trained in radiation safety and if necessary set up for the EH&S film badge monitoring program.
After completion of this form, please return it to the RSO. The RSO will review the form and submit the application to the Radiation Safety Committee for approval, and then to the State of Texas Bureau of Radiation Control for the final approval. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to call EH&S at x4111.
