Radiation Protection
Introduction
|
The University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) is required to manage
radioactive materials in compliance with Title 10, Part 20 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10
CFR, Part 20), other applicable federal, and Chapter
4731 of the State of Minnesota Rules and university regulations.
The University of Minnesota Radiation Protection
Division (RPD), Department of Environmental Health and Safety, with the
review and approval of the All University Radiation Protection Advisory
Committee (AURPAC), establishes uniform policies and procedures for the
use of sources of ionizing radiation, and ensures compliance with the
required procedures for collection, packaging, labeling, transport and
disposal of radioactive waste generated throughout the University of
Minnesota.
Minnesota
Rules, Chapter 4731, Radioactive Materials requires that all
licensees maintain written records regarding the receipt, storage, use
and disposal of radioactive material. This information must be recorded
by Permit Holders and their staff and supplied to RPD on a routine
basis for documentation. The RPD maintains these required records for
review by the NRC as part of their annual inspection of the University
NRC license.
As an investigator generating radioactive waste,
your assistance and cooperation with all waste handling procedures, and
compliance with the Minnesota Department of Health 's Radiation
Control rules and requirements is essential to assure a safer
management of radioactive waste and use of radioactive materials at UMD.
