Non-Routine Survey Fee $341/year
Late Dosimetry Fee $76/year
3This annually assessed fee includes:  routine surveys, dosimetry, package inspection and delivery, instrument calibration, routine radioactive waste management (liquid scintillation vials, and lab debris), RAM licensing fees and other cost associated with RAM safety. The classification and fees are based on hazard guide values. Higher hazard classifications typically require more dosimetry, more package delivery, more waste, and instrument calibration, therefore more cost.
4This annually assessed fee includes: registration tracking and other costs.  Admin RUAs are established for research use of a source or Radiation Producing Machine (RPM) where another PI has primary responsibility.
5This annually assessed fee includes: routine surveys, dosimetry, instrument calibration, RPM licensing fees, and other cost associated with RPM safety.
