Unreturned Dosimeter Policy

It is expected that 90% of dosimeters issued to a series will be accounted for within 30 days of the end of the wear period specified on each dosimeter. If a series fails to meet this expectation it will be charged a fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each dosimeter not accounted for.

 

Changes to radioactive waste disposal rates

The cost of disposing radioactive waste is recovered via a cost center at the UW. Fortunately, the rates for disposing most radioactive waste streams decreased this year due to switching to a waste processing facility with thermal treatment capabilities. The new waste processor charges by the pound for thermal treatment so the new rates are calculated based upon weight as opposed to volume as in the past.
