Radioactive Materials

Before working with radioactive materials, researchers must first submit a “Radiation Use Authorization” (RUA) via the USC iStar application located at istar.usc.edu. For more information please contact radsafety@usc.edu or visit EH&S’ Radiation Safety webpage.

In addition to taking the General Lab Safety Course, researchers handling radioactive materials must take the EH&S Radiation Safety Course. Registration for this class (and all EH&S courses) can be found on EH&S’s registration page.
