Read about the free radioisotope package delivery service for qualifying labs.

Qualifications

To qualify for delivery service, laboratories must have:

• An employee who's authorized on the lab's Radioisotope Use Authorization (RUA) present to sign for the package delivery
• A posted Radioactive Materials Area to store the material

• A posted refrigerator or freezer in a designated Radioactive Materials Area to receive refrigerated or frozen isotopes, if applicable

Request delivery service

• Use the Radioactive Materials Package Delivery Request form (PDF) to request delivery service. Follow instructions on the form.
• Principal investigators with multiple RUAs will complete 1 form per RUA.

Principal investigators can authorize delivery of radioisotope packages to their qualifying laboratory without a receipt signature.

• To request this option, check the "Release of Responsibility" box at the bottom of the Radioactive Materials Package Delivery Request form.
•  Delivery without a signature is not available for packages marked Radioactive Material Security.

Deliveries are Monday – Friday, 2–4 p.m. If delivery is not possible on the first attempt, a second, final delivery attempt will be made the next working day. Undelivered packages will be returned to the EH&S Services Lab where they will be available for pick up.
