UCLA
is one of the three University of California
campuses that includes a research medical center
under its radioactive materials license. This
makes UCLA one of the largest and most diverse
Broad Scope, Type A, licensee in California.
While this license allows the greatest flexibility
in operation of a radiation safety program it also
imposes the responsibility to ensure that the control,
use, and disposal of radioactive materials
is performed safely so that the research
and clinical uses have a negligible effect
to the campus and to the public.
|
Responsibilities
The responsibility of ensuring the safe operation
of a radiation safety program is through the policy
and procedures of radiation safety committees. At UCLA,
the Radiation Safety Committee and Medical Radiation
Safety Committee are responsible for the use of radioactive
materials and radiation-producing machines for non-human
and human uses respectively. The committee members, who are
professors from different schools and departments, represent
a cross-section of the campus that utilize ionizing radiation.
The committee members are appointed annually by the Vice Chancellor,
Research Program, with the assistance of the Radiation Safety Division.
The UCLA Radiation Safety Division (RSD)
ensures that the University is in compliance
with the policies and procedures of the two
committees, the California Code of Regulations,
Title 17, and conditions of the UCLA radioactive
materials license, #1335-19.

Programs
The Radiation Safety Division manages various programs to demonstrate
to the California Department of Health Services that the University
can control and monitor the receipt, use, and disposal of any source
of radiation. The following programs demonstrate the control
and monitoring of use of ionizing radiation:
