Individual user accounts are required to access the Radiation Protection Office Data Center that is used for online radioactive material order and radioactive waste pick-up requests.
In order for UIS to generate an RPO user account, the following information needs to be emailed to: radiation_protection at harvard dot edu:
- Full name (as it appears on Harvard ID. A Harvard ID is required to be issued an RPO user account)
- Harvard email (an email ending in .harvard.edu).
- Office/Lab phone number.
- Name of radiation use permit holder.
The UIS will then directly contact each user with their RPO user account set-up instructions and temporary password.
If you have any questions or need help accessing the system, please contact the RPO at 617-496-3797.
The Radiation Protection Office manages radioactive waste to ensure proper disposal and to control costs.
