The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Advisory Committee on Medical Uses of Isotopes will hold a public meeting April 20 and 21 in Rockville, Md., where, among other items, members will meet with NRC Commissioners to provide opinions and recommendations on several technical matters. Committee members will also discuss proposed guidance that would allow family members to exceed the regulatory radiation dose limit while caring for a sick relative undergoing radiation treatment and hear external stakeholder opinions about the presence of physicians during gamma stereotactic radiosurgery therapy.

The public portion of the meeting will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The meeting will be held at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, 5701 Marinelli Road, except for the Commission briefing, which will be held at the Commissioner’s Briefing Room, at the NRC’s White Flint North Building, 11555 Rockville Pike. Questions from the public will be permitted at the discretion of the committee chairman. Any member of the public wishing to submit a written statement or needing special assistance must contact Angela McIntosh, at 301-415-5030 or arm@nrc.gov. A transcript and written comments will be available on the NRC’s Web site, at www.nrc.gov and through the NRC Public Document Room on or about July 20, 2005.
