Radioactive Material Use Authorizations
To obtain the privilege of ordering radioactive materials for use on Yale
property, obtain an application from the Radiation Safety Office
(737-2118). As a matter of policy, the person applying for
authorization must be a faculty member (Professor, Associate
Professor, Assistant Professor, Senior Research Scientist or
Research Scientist of Yale University). These forms are reviewed by a Health
Physicist and the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC).
A meeting is scheduled with the applicant to discuss the proposed isotope
use and to inspect the facility where the radioactive materials will be
used. Once the application is approved by the RSC, the Principal Investigator
is notified and a copy of the approved application is forwarded to the
applicant.
The Radiation Safety Committee's approval of any application will expire
three (3) years from the date of approval. Renewal applications
will automatically be reviewed with Principal Investigators
prior to each application expiring.
Human use is not permitted under the terms of the University license.
Forms for human use applications may be secured from the Chairman
of the Yale-New Haven Hospital Isotope Committee and Yale Human
Investigation Committee.
