Please note:<\/strong> If you plan to use radioactive material in \u201cunsealed form\u201d (i.e. liquid, powder, or gas), you will need specific equipment, an appropriate work environment, and hands-on training for all involved personnel.<\/p>\n The use of volatile radioiodine requires additional training and equipment. Please contact Radiation Safety for more details regarding volatile radioiodine use.<\/strong><\/p>\n Purchasing radioisotopes through the DMPRS ensures all purchases are consistent with conditions specified in the authorized user\u2019s permit and applicable regulatory requirements and we receive preferred pricing since we are able to consolidate purchasing.<\/p>\n Radiation Safety coordinates the purchase of the following equipment:<\/p>\n We also have preferred vendors for the following items:<\/p>\n Radiation Safety will provide a release survey(s) for equipment\/ laboratory spaces that present a risk of being contaminated with, or contain, radioactive materials that require repair, transfer, or disposal. Please complete the Radiological Decommission Form to initiate the process.<\/p>\n All samples, sources, or equipment being shipped to or from Boston University\/ Boston University Medical Center must have prior written authorization and guidance by DMPRS. Processing time and cost will be evaluated on a case by case basis.<\/p>\n To dispose of radioactive waste please submit a pickup request<\/a>.\u00a0 Please review the complete information on radioactive waste management<\/a> and contact EHS<\/a> if you have any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Radiation Safety coordinates: Purchase of radioisotopes and certain equipment Shipping and receiving of radioisotopes Release surveys of radioactive materials labs and equipment being decommissioned, transferred, or that are in need of repair Please note: If you plan to use radioactive material in \u201cunsealed form\u201d (i.e. liquid, powder, or gas), you will need specific equipment, an […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3037,"featured_media":0,"parent":205,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1426"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3037"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1426"}],"version-history":[{"count":50,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16258,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1426\/revisions\/16258"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Ordering Radioactive Materials<\/h2>\n
