Medical Use of Byproduct Material; Workshop

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is continuing the process of developing a proposed revision of its regulations governing the medical use of byproduct material in 10 CFR part 35, ``Medical Use of Byproduct Material.'' Throughout the development of the proposed rule the Commission solicited input from the various interests that may be affected by these proposed revisions. The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on August 13, 1998 (63 FR 43516), for a 90-day comment period, which was later reopened to December 16, 1998. During the public comment period, several public meetings were held to discuss major issues, such as training and experience requirements, that are being addressed during the rulemaking.
