SUBJECT: | STAFF REQUIREMENTS - MEETING WITH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON MEDICAL USES OF ISOTOPES (ACMUI), 9:00 A.M., THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1997, COMMISSIONERS' CONFERENCE ROOM, ONE WHITE FLINT NORTH, ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND (OPEN TO PUBLIC ATTENDANCE) |
The Commission was briefed by the Advisory Committee on Medical Uses of Isotopes (ACMUI) on the Committees' discussions on DSI-7 and the revision of 10 CFR Part 35.
The Commission requested the ACMUI to take a focused look at revisions to Part 35, including test cases, as the Commission moves toward a more risk-informed, performance-based regulatory program. In providing recommendations, the Committee should address the questions posed by the Commissioners during the meeting, which include the following:
The Commission requested OGC to provide an analysis of whether the Atomic Energy Act supports ACMUI's proposal that NRC regulation should tolerate a level of risk in radiation medicine comparable to the level of risk associated with other practices of medicine.
