To transfer the radioactive source to the manufacturer Perkin Elmer in accordance with the Department of Transportation regulations The liquid scintillation counter provides high performance and flexibility for multi-application and multi-user laboratories detecting radioactivity in life science research, environmental monitoring and/or health physics assays in proposed VA research projects. The Research Lab is active and needs to be cleared ASAP for the research staff to use safely. Specifications, Purpose, and Objectives In Accordance with the NRC requirements devices (such as radiology X-ray imaging and counting devices), that contain radioactive material sealed sources must be returned to the manufacturer prior to the decommissioning the device. In addition, the transportation of the sealed source must be performed in accordance with the DOT requirements. Period of Performance The VA anticipates that the removal of the radioactive element will take half day and will be transferred to the manufacturer Perkin Elmer. Place of Performance The service is intended for Building 61 of the Northport VAMC: Northport VAMC 79 Middleville Road Building 61 Northport, New York 11768 Government Furnished Property/Equipment TriCarb Scintillation Counter, Packard, radioactive source Other requirements The access to the source must be limited to the authorized personnel. The contractor/Service Engineer must have received radiation safety training and DOT training: in accordance with the NRC requirements and with the Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements.
