Radiation Risk Assessment

Any and all radiation producing equipment or radioactive materials that will be located on UT Austin campuses must be approved by the Radiation Safety Office prior to use.  This includes equipment owned and operated by non-UT personnel that is temporarily on campus for a specific event or task.  The Radiation Safety Office has information on how to obtain permission to conduct operations that use radioactive materials or radiation producing devices.

Please visit the Radiation Safety webpage for more information on how to obtain permission to use radioactive materials or radiation producing machines on campus for research, industrial, and non-medical applications.

Radiation used in medical applications or clinical research in Dell Medical School and UT Health Austin have different requirements.  Please visit Medical Use and Clinical Research Involving Radiation for more information.
