This article explains how principal investigators submit permit applications and how administrators configure and apply special conditions during review.
1. Permit workflow for principal investigators
Principal investigators submit radioactive materials permit applications through the permit authorization module. Applications are completed using the configured radioactive materials permit form, which collects the information required for review and approval.
2. Special conditions
Special conditions can be added to permits during the review process. These conditions are configured by administrators and help communicate specific requirements or expectations to the permit holder.
Administrators can manage special conditions by navigating to edit settings, selecting rad, and opening permit special conditions.
- Add new special condition – Creates a new item that appears in the reviewer dropdown.
- Edit a condition – Modify the text and save changes.
- Delete a condition – Remove a condition using the red trash icon.
- Set status – Active conditions appear for use; inactive conditions remain stored but hidden.
These conditions help reviewers communicate requirements such as changes to personal protective equipment, updated lab protocols, or waste‑handling expectations.
