designated as Radiation Safety Officer, and he has the responsibiHty for 

 maintaining careful records, supervising handling and disposal of radio- 

 active materials, and protecting laboratory personnel against harmful

 license unless the AEC is given the assurance that only persons trained 

 by course work or "on-the-job" experience will be responsible for the han- 

 dling of radioactive materials.
