26 Sealed Source Safety Manual same rules for posting, safety, and security. Temporary storage locations must be approved by EH&S. Transfer If you intend to transfer the materials to another user or send it to ISU Surplus, you must notify EH&S prior to that transfer. All transfers of nuclear gauges must follow IDPH rules, ISU’s export controls policy and ISU Surplus procedures. Disposal Disposal of nuclear gauges will be completed through ISU Surplus and an approved licensee, under EH&S guidance. To request a lab equipment disposal, submit a Laboratory Equipment Disposal Form to EH&S. If the equipment manufacturer cannot be located or refuses to take possession of the source, EH&S will assist the PI or department with an alternate disposal method. The PI and/or department will be responsible for all costs associated with equipment disposal. Storing gauges to avoid disposal costs is not permitted. Non-operational nuclear gauges should be identified and repaired, transferred, or disposed within a reasonable amount of time. Reciprocity The use of sealed sources outside of Iowa requires licensing by the regulatory agency (Agreement State, USNRC, DOE, or DOD) with jurisdiction at the work location. Typically, the governing agency will grant a one-year reciprocal license allowing ISU to operate within their jurisdiction for up to 180 consecutive or non-consecutive days. All costs for reciprocal licensing are the responsibility of the PI or department conducting the work. Allow at least six weeks to complete approvals and licensing procedures. When requesting reciprocity, supply EH&S with the following information • Specific and detailed work location. • Planned work dates. • Company or agency hosting site visit. • Specific contact information for a representative of the company ¤ ¤ Name ¤ ¤ Address ¤ ¤ Telephone number ¤ ¤ Email • Persons who will be performing the work. Note: Allow at least four weeks for reciprocity approval!
