Radioactive Material Transfers
To/From Another Institution
Syracuse University Approved Radioactive Material Supervisors (RMS) may transfer radioactive
material to/from another authorized insitution only with approval of the Radiation Safety Officer. The
institution receiving/shipping the radioactive material must provide proof of their authorization to receive
the material. This proof must be in the form of a radioactive material license or certificate of registration.
Once a transfer has been approved, the actual movement or shipment of the radioactive material must be
done in accordance with applicable regulations and Section 2.7 of the Radiation Protection Program
Handbook.
The following procedure must be followed when transferring radioactive material between an approved
radioactive material supervisor at Syracuse University and another institution:
- Supervisor releasing/receiving the material must complete the "Transfer of Radioactive Materials Form" including:
- All of the "Materials Transferred Section"
- Releasing RMS/Institute information
- Receiving RMS/ Institute information
- The transfer form must be delivered or sent to the RSO.
- Radiation Safety staff will verify that the receiving institute or RMS is licensed to receive the transfer material and notify the Releasing RMS/Institute accordingly.
- The Syracuse University RMS involved in the transfer is responsible for the actual transfer of the material. The material to be transferred must meet all appropriate packaging, shipping, and transport regulations as specified in 49 CFR Part 173.
- All material transferred onto campus must be delivered directly to the Radiation Safety Laboratory. Radiation Safety staff will perform the required surveys and assign the material an inventory number and inventory sheet. The inventory sheet must be maintained by the Syracuse University RMS receiving the material.
