For non-catalogue or E-buy purchase order, the vendor will ship the product (s) to the Radiation Protection Office with attention to PI right after the PO is received. For Standing purchase the research lab will need to call the vender to ship specific item (s) listed on the PO when the lab is ready to use the radioactive materials. The order will be also shipped to the Radiation protection Office with attention to PI. The Radiation protection Office will assign an inventory number to each isotope received, and survey the package to ensure no contamination, and finally deliver the package to the research lab. EHS staff may allow physically large shipments to be delivered to other locations. Purchases of radioactive material are prohibited on Purchasing Cards. Suppliers of radioactive material are required to have written assurance that the recipient is licensed to receive the material. EHS will provide this information to suppliers and maintain a file of such assurances from licensees who receive material from the University. Individual users may not provide suppliers with the University license numbers or copies of the license. If a radioactive material shipment is delivered directly to your laboratory, call EHS so the required paperwork can be completed. Do not open the material.
