Statement
The University Radiological Control Committee (RCC) advises the
Chancellor or his designate on all matters relating to the State
of Illinois licenses issued to the University and to the
procurement and safe use of radioactive materials and radiation
producing devices within the University. The RCC is thereby
authorized to regulate the procurement, utilization, and disposal
of all radioactive materials and radiation producing devices in
order to assure compliance with the regulations of the State of
Illinois to safeguard the health and safety of university
personnel and of the entire community. The RCC also serves as the
official advisory body to the faculty and staff of the University
in matters relating to the safe use of all radioactive materials
and radiation producing devices in teaching, research, and
development.
The RCC formulates basic policies for uniform practice throughout
the University wherever radioactive materials or radiation
producing devices are involved. The regulative and monitoring
functions of the RCC relate primarily to the fundamental
responsibility of the University to assure that radioactive
materials are being procured, utilized, and disposed of in such a
manner so as to preclude any possibility of endangering the health
or safety of University personnel, students, or residents of the
community, and in accordance with Federal and State licenses and
other pertinent regulations.
