University Isotopes Committee (UIC) Members

The University Isotopes Committee (UIC) is responsible for administering the licenses issued to the University for the use of radioactive materials and for insuring that such use meets federal, state, and University regulations. The SeniorVice-President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School has empowered the UIC to act as they deem necessary to ensure compliance with regulations and to ensure that all licensed radioactive material is used in a safe manner.

The UIC has the responsibility to review all requests for the use of radioactive materials and to approve or disapprove such requests for all of Penn State University except the Hershey Medical Center which has its own radiation safety committee. The Committee has a duty to withdraw its authorization to use radioactive material and to order an experimenter to take whatever action the Committee considers necessary to correct unsafe conditions or a violation of a license or regulation.
