Get started

Research activities using radioactive material or radiation-producing devices require personnel training and review before the work begins. Requirements and procedures for review differ depending on where the research activity will take place.

Indianapolis researchers

On the IUI campus, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety is responsible for the policy, procedures, and training requirements under the Radiation Safety Program.

The Office for Research Compliance administers various radiation safety committees. These include:

• the Radionuclide Radiation Safety Committee (RRSC)
• Radioactive Drug Research Committee (RDRC)
• Machine Produced Radiation Safety Committee (MPRSC)

Activities with radioactive nuclides and radiation-producing sources must be described and approved using the Radiation Safety Committee forms. Documents must be submitted to either the Radiation Safety Committee or the Radiation Safety Office, as indicated on each form.
