Radioactive Material Inventory
Published Date: Sep 24
UAB has a very accurate and sophisticated inventory system that enables the EH&S Radiation Safety program (EH&S) to track all radioactive materials within the possession of authorized UAB personnel (physicians, professors, students, researchers, etc.).
The inventory system enables EH&S to track every stock material from the moment it arrives at UAB until its disposal. The system is important because it reduces the loss of radioactive material and enables UAB to remain in compliance with ADPH and USNRC regulations.
To ensure the system is working as designed, EH&S continually monitors inventory submissions and regularly audits users.

Radiological Survey Instrument Calibration
Published Date: Sep 19
What is calibration and why is it needed?
Calibration is the process by which a quantitative measuring instrument is manipulated to respond and indicate a certain range of acceptable values. Accurate instrument calibration and its proper use is fundamental in a clinical or research laboratory program. Proper calibration ensures that meters can accurately detect radiation. It is also important to understand what is being calibrated and how the calibration is being performed. In this article, we will be discussing calibration of radioactive detecting instruments.
