The process for ordering radioactive materials is as follows:
1. Your Principle Investigator (PI) must be authorized to order a specific radioisotope and a specific chemical form. If you are unsure about which isotopes and chemical forms for which you currently have approval, refer to your Radioactive Materials Permit (RMP).
2. All orders must be delivered to the Radiation Safety Program (RSP). Direct shipment of radioactive material or sources to the laboratory is prohibited.
3. Be sure the vendor has the following shipping address:
UCLA Radiation Safety, c/o Medical Receiving
650 Charles E. Young Drive South, CHS A6-060C
Los Angeles, CA 90095-1764
Attn: {Principle Investigator}, LA {xxx} (Note: PI must be the name listed on the RMP, and xxx is the authorization number.)
4. The RSP will notify you when the package arrives and is ready for pick-up.
Note: The RSP must be notified of the receipt of liquid scintillation counters or generally licensed radioactive sources.
