RAM Permit Applications


 

To obtain a ram permit, an individual must submit a permit application and in turn must be approved by the Radiation Safety Committee to become a Permitted Individual (PI). Since the term "Authorized User" is defined in 10 CFR 35 for only human medical uses, non-medical individuals with RAM permits, including veterinarians, are referred to as PIs. Once a permit is established, the PI must submit application amendments in order to make certain changes to the permit. More information regarding MU EHS's policies regarding the application process can be found on the Permit Application Review and Approval Policies page. 

This page provides information on when an application is needed and what forms are required for specific changes. You may access the forms using the Rad Forms link to the right. If additional help is needed for filling out each page, refer to How to Fill Out Permit Application Forms.
