ANNUAL RADIATION SAFETY TRAINING 2017

• Annual radiation safety training is required of all sublicensees and personnel and/or

• Annual radiation safety training is required of all sublicensees and personnel and/or students who work in an area where radiation is produced or sources are utilized.

The biggest change for this year is the way that radioactive wastes are managed

The biggest change for this year is the way that radioactive wastes are managed in the laboratory.

• These changes will be similar to those which affect chemical waste.

• These changes will be similar to those which affect chemical waste.

• When radioactive wastes are generated it is placed in temporary storage within

• When radioactive wastes are generated it is placed in temporary storage within the lab where it was generated. This area is designated as a Satellite Accumulation Area (SAA) for radioactive wastes.

• There a few specific rules that apply to an SAA, but for

• There a few specific rules that apply to an SAA, but for the most part radioactive waste is managed as it has been for the last few years.

• The SAA must be approved by EHS and designated by signage that

• The SAA must be approved by EHS and designated by signage that will be provided by EHS.

• SAA radioactive waste must be stored in the same room as the

• SAA radioactive waste must be stored in the same room as the material is generated or in an adjacent room under the same sublicensee.

• Containers must be kept closed and only opened when material is being

• Containers must be kept closed and only opened when material is being added.

• Containers must not be leaking and must be compatible with the contents.

• Containers must not be leaking and must be compatible with the contents.

• Containers must be labeled with the RSO number, isotope and amount of

• Containers must be labeled with the RSO number, isotope and amount of radioactive material present in the container. If chemical wastes are present they must also be identified.

• The way to schedule a pickup is by using the EHS web

• The way to schedule a pickup is by using the EHS web site. Under the Research heading select radiation safety, then Request Pickup. Material should be picked up by EHS within 3 days of putting it in the SAA.

• Once material is picked up it is taken to the radioactive waste

• Once material is picked up it is taken to the radioactive waste storage area to be processed and stored.

• In the event of a spill or emergency alert others and contact

• In the event of a spill or emergency alert others and contact EHS at 348 -5905. If needed contact UAPD at 3485454. EHS has a fully equipped haz mat response team. In the event of a fire evacuate.

• Radioactive waste management is very complex and the regulations are extensive. If

• Radioactive waste management is very complex and the regulations are extensive. If you have any questions or need assistance contact EHS at 3485905.

• These new waste management requirements will take effect Janurary of 2018. EHS

• These new waste management requirements will take effect Janurary of 2018. EHS will be contacting all affected sublicensees this fall to establish SAA’s and review the details.

• EHS has added a new employee who will be working in radiation

• EHS has added a new employee who will be working in radiation safety. She is Telisa Goins. She has completed the 40 hour RSO course and has been approved by the state as Assistant RSO.
