Permits must be renewed annually
Once a faculty member or equivalent (Approved Supervisor) has submitted a RS-1 and has received final approval to use radioactive material from the University Radiation Safety Committee and Radiation Safety, the continued use of radioactive material will be allowed only if the Approved Supervisor completes and returns the required paper work sent out annually by the Radiation Safety Section of EHS.
