Minors Working With Radioactive Materials

Radiation exposure limits exist for minors, (individuals under 18 years of age) who work with radioactive materials. These limits are 10% of all of the occupational limits for adult radiation workers. For these workers, safety training must be completed prior to work with radioactive materials as with other occupational workers. It is university policy that an informed parental consent form must be completed and kept on file for purposes of liability and risk management.

Due to university policy and legal requirements, principal investigators must notify the ORCBS before allowing minors to handle radioactive materials.
