Transfer of Radioactive Materials

Transfer of radioactive material between investigators of different projects must be reported prior to the transfer by telephoning the ORCBS. These transfers must be between committee approved principal investigators, and within the limits of the approved quantities. The transfer should not take place until the authorization to do so has been given by the ORCBS.

It is required that we document any transfers of radioactive materials by reassigning the shipment in our inventory database. To transfer a shipment, call the ORCBS and supply the information to the Health Physics staff, who will confirm approval to transfer the material and document the change in the inventory database.

Radioactive materials must never be transferred to individuals who are not certified or approved. Certified workers are trained and have passed the certification examination.
