Unless you're dealing with exempt quantities procured from someone licensed
 to distribute it in exempt quantities (not likely), it will have to be use
d in accordance with your NRC or agreement state license, administered by y
our properly trained and experienced Radiation Safety Officer. If you
 already have a radioactive materials license, then you probably have a con
sultant on call who can guide you. If not, the first step will be getting a
 license and I would recommend hiring a qualified consultant to help with t
hat process and setting up a proper program. I'm not sure who is good in yo
ur local area, but you might contact the Health Physics Society or a local 
trade association for your industry for a referral.Randal O. Norman
