The University of Arizona's EHS holds operating licenses for all ionizing radiation use at the University. EHS, operating under regulations set by the Arizona Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC), requires anyone working with any ionizing radiation to receive approval from the University's Radiation Safety Committee. Updates to existing approvals must be submitted to EHS for further review by the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) prior to implementation. Please see instructions to gain approval for each of the use conditions below.
Any changes to approved protocols, or any additions of radionuclides to an approved application requires that the Approval Holder submit the an amendment application to EHS for review the Radiation Safety Committee. Approval must be obtained prior to beginning the planned projects.
To amend approved protocols, including adding radionuclides, increasing activity limits, changing or adding storage locations, or modifying device in which the source is contained, an Approval Holder is required to submit an application to EHS for review and approval by the appropriate Radiation Safety Committee.
EHS must be notified before a change in a machine’s location, transfer of ownership, or disposal. EHS will report these changes to the Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC).
To change approved protocols, add radionuclides, raise activity limits, modify routine transport plans, change or add storage locations, an Approval Holder must submit an application to RHS for review and approval by the appropriate Radiation Safety Committee.
