7. (5 points)What are University of Florida regulations concerning radioactive material and radiation producing devices entitled:
______
8. (5 points)Who is the Radiation Control Officer for the University of Florida:
______
9. (5 points)Radiation and contamination surveys should be completed:
a)At least weekly when radioactive materials are being used in regular frequency in the lab.
b)Monthly if radioactive materials are in storage only.
c)Monthly if only radioactive waste is present in the lab.
d)All of the above are correct.
10. (5 points)Who has the overriding responsibility for the safe use of radioactive materials and radiation sources in the lab:

b)post doctoral fellow
c)Principal Investigator
11. (5 points)By becoming a Principal Investigator of a grant, can you automatically contact a vendor to procure radioactive material or radiation sources:
a)Yes
b)No; you must submit a proposal to Radiation Control
12. (5 points)Once your proposal is approved, do you receive an individual license to use radioactive material at the University of Florida?:
a)Yes

b)Initiated immediately and dated for shipment receipt.
c)The form is not necessary. Inventory does not need to be maintained for laboratory records.
d)Filled out after material is fully depleted.
15. (5 points)Which of the following lists the correct order of follow-up procedures according to the “Radiation Safety Criteria Violation Enforcement Policy”?
a)Department head notification, initial follow-up, final follow-up

c)Formal University credit course
d)Radiation Safety Short Course
19. (5 points)I work with a radiation producing device, not radioactive material. Do I still need to contact Radiation Control?:
a)No
b)Yes; you still need to demonstrate adequate training and ensure that the device is registered
