All orders for radioactive materials at UAB must be processed through the Radiation Safety Division. Purchase order numbers must be acquired and the Radiation Safety Division must place orders. Please contact Sherri Price at 934-4751 with any questions or inquiries.

There are a few noteworthy items in placing of radioactive material orders in the new Oracle system. If these items are not addressed properly, your order could be delayed. If all of the items are not filled out properly, your order could go through the wrong approval path and bypass the Radiation Safety Office.

When entering orders for radioactive materials in the Requisition Header screen:

• Order Method: Phone (NOT fax or mail).  Radiation Safety phones in all radioactive material orders. If fax or mail is selected there is possibility of duplication with the vendor.

Under the Lines button (at the bottom of the Requisition Header screen):

• Category:  Radioactive Material
• Hazard Class: RAD –Click Details Tab to get to this
• [  ] symbol: Under this button is where you give the information of Licensee Name, Number, Quantity on Hand, etc.
