Radiation Safety
Radiation Survey Instruments (Calibration)
All survey instruments used for required surveys must be calibrated annually. During calibration, your instruments will also be checked for proper operation and efficiencies will be recalculated.
All calibrations are performed by EHS staff free of charge unless the instrument needs repair or we are unable to perform the task
All radiation instruments ordered or brought to UVa must be approved by EHS and delivered to EHS prior to being used by the lab. This ensures that the instrument is entered into our database and can be tracked for calibration.
Contact Greg Payne about Instruments and Calibrations at 982-4942 or 982-4911.
Please read section 21.0 of the University Radiation Safety Guide for information on proper use and maintenance of survey instruments.
