     The principal investigator is required to terminate his permit for use 
     of radioactive material.  In the terminations process, she/he must 
     make a disposition on his radioactive material.  He/she can either 
     transfer radioactive materialto another investigator or surrender for 
     disposal.  All radioactive material is accountable..mike coogen

What if the "accountable" researcher retires, leaves, etc.?  Who ends up 
holding the bag then?
