At LBNL and the ALS, the use of radioactive material is strictly regulated by the Department of Energy. Before using radioactive material at the ALS, you MUST contact the Chemical Safety Specialist (CSS) and get prior approval BEFORE sending any radioactive material to the ALS.
After the radioactive material is approved, you will be contacted by the CSS for shipping, handling, and training information. FedEx is the only carrier the Lab uses to ship radioactive material.
Note that you are not allowed to BRING radioactive material with you to LBNL; it must be shipped.
