Series Description: The Isotope Loan Records document ORNL's loan of a wide variety of isotopes to US and foreign universities, outside laboratories, other national laboratories, medical research and treatment facilities, and other divisions within ORNL. Included are requests for loans, internal correspondence, authorizations, shipment records, records of returns, and isotope analysis records that track the chain of custody of the loaned isotope. Some isotopes identified in these records are iron, curium, gadolinium, molybdenum, tin, lead, and zinc. Although they do not document sales, loans, transfers of RaLa, or many transactions involving cesium or iodine, these records shed light on the ORNL's loan and distribution policies.
