If you want to use radioactivity in your research, you may need o become an authorized user at your institution. First, decide what type of isotope or isotopes will be used in your research, the application, how much material you will need, disposal methods, and for how long you will use it. Then, present this information to your radiation safety officer or radiation safety committee so that hey can determine whether such radionuclide use is possible under your institution's license. If the request is approved, carry out the requirements stated on your institution's license to become an authorized user operating in an approved laboratory SELECTING AND ORDERING A RADIOISOTOPE Which Radiochemical Is Most Appropriate for Your research? The Institution's Perspective Your institution's license defines specific limits to the type and amount of radionuclide allowable on site(this includes on-site aste). Before determining how much material you think you'll need, find out how much you' ll be allowed to have in your lab at any one time. You can then get an idea about how or if you'll need to space out the work requiring radioactivity Your perspective These are some of the most important parameters to consider when deciding which isotope to usecovered in detail under Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 30, Rules of General Applicability to Licensing of Byproduct Material (10CFR Part 30), and 10CFR Part 33, Spe￾cific Domestic Licenses of Broad Scope for Byproduct Material (10CFR Part 33).
