Guidance
Consolidated guidance about medical, academic, and industrial
uses of nuclear materials is published in "Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses" (NUREG-1556,
Volumes 1-21). Web (HTML) versions of some guidance documents are available in our NRC
Formal Publication Collection. Some are also are available in NRC's
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
(see our table listing
their availability).
Regulatory guides are issued in 10 divisions and are intended
to aid licensees in implementing regulations. The guides most applicable
to medical, industrial, and academic uses of nuclear materials are in
The following regulatory guides (RGs) in Division 8 are the ones most
relevant to medical, industrial, and academic uses of nuclear material:
- RG 8.7 - Instructions for Recording and Reporting Occupational
Radiation Exposure Data
- RG 8.9 - Acceptable Concepts, Models, Equations, and Assumptions for a Bioassay Program
- RG 8.13 - Instruction Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure
- RG 8.15 - Acceptable Programs for Respiratory Protection
- RG 8.20 - Applications for Bioassay for I-125 and -131
- RG

Communications
Generic communications are NRC's primary method of sending information
to specific classes of licensees. There are several types:
Newsletters are another way of sending information to NRC licensees.
The FSME Quarterly Newsletter (NUREG/BR-0117) contains information about medical, industrial, and academic uses
of nuclear material.
