A CONDITION of our radioactive material license requires Principal Investigators submit quarterly inventory reports of radioactive materials to the Radiation Control Officer (RCO). To insure compliance with this license condition, the Radiation Control Committee has agreed that Principal Investigators who are delinquent or neglect submitting their inventory reports are subject to enforcement actions.
"Quarterly Radioactive Materials Inventory" forms are provided for use when reporting. These inventory forms are for reporting the amount of activity "On Hand" at the end of the reporting quarter. Maintenance of the laboratory's utilization forms will facilitate the completion of the quarterly inventory form.
See QUARTERLY RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL INVENTORY form. The following is an explanation of each column.
| Radionuclide | Radionuclide listed (self-explanatory). List radionuclides not already listed. | |
| Present Inventory (mCi) | List in this column, beside the listed radionuclides, the amount of activity in stock
solutions or vials that are on hand at the end of the reporting quarter. |
|
| Location | Use this column to record the room location of the listed activity. | |
| Remarks | Any additional pertinent information we need to know (i.e. waste material) |
Accountability of radioactive material is of great importance in maintaining compliance with license requirements. See RADIONUCLIDE UNTILIZATION FORM
A Utilization Form must be initiated and maintained for each separate shipment of radioactive material received.
An entry must be made on this form each time there is radionuclide usage by the receiving Principal Investigator in his lab.
An entry must be made on this form each time radioactive materials are transferred to another Principal Investigator.
Each Principal Investigator who receives radioactive material via on-campus transfers must keep and maintain a Radionuclide Utilization Form. All Transfers must be approved by the Radiation Control Department prior to the Transfer.
An entry must be made on this form when radioactive materials are received via transfer or shipment and each time those radioactive materials are used.
Accurate and regular use of the Utilization Forms facilitate the completion of the Quarterly Radioactive Material Inventory Form.
