Radioactive Material Transfers
Between SU Approved Radiation Supervisors
Syracuse University Approved Radioactive Material Supervisors (RMS) may transfer radioactive
material to/from another Syracuse University RMS only with approval of the Radiation Safety Officer.
Procedures for transferring radioactive material between Syracuse University RMSs must be followed to
ensure that the University is aware of those individuals who have radioactive material for which the
University is responsible and that the proper documentation has been maintained.
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 materials between approved
RMSs at Syracuse University:
- The RMS releasing the material must complete the "Transfer of Radioactive Material Form" including:
- All of the "Materials Transferred Section"
- Releasing RMS information
- Receiving RMS information
- Send or deliver the transfer form to the RSO.
- Radiation Safety staff will verify that the receiving RMS is authorized to possess the material to be transferred.
- If the receiving RMS is not authorized to possess the transfer material, Radiation Safety staff will notify both labs that the transfer cannot occur.
- If the receiving RMS is authorized, the releasing RMS is responsible for the proper packaging and transfer of the material.
- The releasing RMS must indicate on the material's original inventory sheet, the amount and date of transferred material.
- Radiation Safety staff will assign the transferred material a new inventory number and inventory sheet. This inventory sheet must be maintained by the receiving RMS.
