EHS is responsible for implementing the University’s radiation safety program as defined by the Radiation Safety Committee, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Broad Scope license, and applicable state and federal regulations. All personnel approved for use of radioactive materials are expected to utilize safe work practices, and conduct and complete all required activities to maintain compliance with these regulations.

The EHS radiation safety staff manages the inventory of all radioactive materials on campus, performs surveys and inspections, and regularly monitors employees to ensure worker safety.

Cumulative effects of radiation are less understood than the effects of a single massive dose of radiation to the whole body, the repeated exposure of an individual to small amounts of radiation day after day can add up to potentially harmful levels. Chronic exposure of individuals to low levels of radiation is believed to produce the following.

Medical Radiation Safety

• Training

  It is mandatory that all workers, including principal investigators, be certified prior to the use of radioactive materials. Certification is obtained by attending the introductory EHS training class and passing the radiation safety examination.

  Initial training must contain minimally the items listed in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 19.12 (10 CFR 19.12), Training for Radiation Workers.

  2. Complete course: Radiation Safety Initial(first year).
  3. Complete course: Radiation Safety Refresher (annually, after first year).

  
  Site Specific Checklist

• Obtaining Approval

  Researchers wishing to work with radioactive material must complete and submit the radioisotope approval application form in the Click compliance system. Approval is determined by MSU's Radiation Safety Committee.

• Ordering

  Any receipt of radioactive materials must be authorized by the EHS Office. Authorization is based on prior approval by the Radiation Safety Committee.

  Surveys

  EHS will make independent surveys of all active radioisotope labs at least quarterly. Inventory assessment, contamination control, personnel monitoring, and training and waste disposal practices will be addressed during these surveys.

• Postings

  All rooms or areas in which licensed quantities of radioactive materials are used or stored must be posted with a 'Caution Radioactive Material' sign, an 'NRC Licensing and Regulation Information Bulletin' sign, and a 'Notice To Workers' sign. Door signs must include the principal investigator's name and phone number, and where he or she can be reached in the event of an emergency. Postings can be obtained from EHS.
