Research involving Radioactive Materials
Research involving radioactive materials must adhere to Laurier’s Radiation Safety Program and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) Nuclear Safety and Control Act.
A researcher
must obtain an internal permit from the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) before
acquisition of isotopes. When a researcher indicates the use of radioactive
materials in a grant application, the Office of Research Services will contact
the Radiation Safety Officer to determine whether the work area, experimental
procedures and worker training have been approved and given an internal permit
by the RSC.
Please contact Sarah Lamb, Biological/Chemical/Radiation Safety Officer (slamb@wlu.ca or x3108) for assistance with the permit application processes.
