Special certification is required to use or transport radioisotopes.
No hazardous chemicals or radioisotopes should be transported to the ELA without proper protocols being observed. The ELA is serviced by radio telephones linked to the Bell Canada network. There are several extension phones in the field station. Virtually all calls entail long distance charges. Therefore, all visitors are asked to use a credit card when placing outgoing calls.
