Radioactive Materials Safety

Radioactive materials licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) include sealed or unsealed unstable isotopes that are:

  1. produced in nuclear reactors or accelerators;
  2. artificially enriched special nuclear (fissionable) materials; or
  3. discrete forms of radium or other natural radionuclides.

Using any amount of these materials requires permission from the UW Radiation Safety Committee and compliance with the Radioactive Materials Safety program.
