A registered radiation worker is required to sign for the package to document the transfer of radioactive material. Package Opening When the package is opened, examine the inner materials and containers for evidence of leakage or other problems. Verify that the packing slip agrees with the content of the package and is what you had ordered. Before discarding, monitor the packing material and package for contamination. If not contaminated, obliterate the radiation labels before discarding packing material in regular trash.
Some vendors accept their own packaging with free postage.

The inventory record must also indicate daily usage of a radionuclide and the balance remaining. See Radiation Program Book for required documentation.
