A.  Assure suitable and operable radiation survey instruments, personnel monitoring devices, and other equipment necessary for radiation safety in the laboratory are readily available.
B.  Make or cause to have made area surveys; assure facilities are monitored and radioactive materials and other ionizing radiation sources are being properly handled and confined to designated areas.  Records of such surveys and monitoring shall be maintained.
C.  Assure all protocols are reviewed by the Radiation Control Committee prior to use of radioactive materials.
D.  Follow applicable rules, regulations, guides, and recommendations for procurement, use, possession, storage, inventory, transfer, and disposition of radioactive materials and sources of ionizing radiation.

F.  Notify the Radiation Safety Officer immediately in the event of a radiation incident (spill, fire, contamination of atmosphere, person or area, or unauthorized release of radioactive materials, theft or loss of radioactive materials), and known or suspected overexposure of personnel to ionizing radiation in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulations Title 10 CFR Part 20 (10 CFR 20) and NMED Radiation Protection Regulations, Subpart 4.  (See Attachment G.)
