NEWS &
INFORMATION Ordering and receipt of radioactive materials is limited to those researchers who have received authorization from the University Radiation Safety Committee. Radioactive material is received under the University of Pittsburgh's NRC license and may only be used in authorized University related facilities. Transfers within University related facilities: Transfer of radioactive material to other researchers is allowed, but only when the following two steps are taken: 1) Verify that the receiver is authorized to possess the isotope and 2) file a written notification of the transfer with the Radiation Safety Office. Form available here. RSO form "Internal Radioisotope
Transfer Record " should be completed and submitted to G-7 Parran
Hall. This form is available by calling the Radiation Safety Office at
624-2728. It is also available on the INTERNET at the Radiation Safety
Office home page located at "http://www.radsafe.pitt.edu". Radioactive material may only be transferred to individuals at other institutions by the Radiation Safety Office. Contact the Radiation Safety Office for assistance. Regulations require that the University have a written confirmation that the receiving institution is licensed for the material. Most institutions require, as we do, that all incoming material is delivered first to the Radiation Safety Office. U.S. Department of Transportation packaging requirements must be adhered to as well as the limitations imposed by the carriers such as UPS or FedEx. Improper shipments are subject to fines and legal action.
