Guidance for Inspections of Medical Licensees; Announcement of 10 CFR Part 35 Public Workshop

Resumo

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting a public meeting on June 6, 2002, to obtain stakeholder comments on draft guidance for inspections of Medical Use licensees. This guidance is being revised in order to facilitate inspections under a recently published, major revision to the regulations governing the medical use of byproduct material (67 FR 20249; April 24, 2002). The final rule becomes effective on October 24, 2002, six months from the date of publication. The meeting on inspection guidance is one of three workshops being conducted on guidance related to the revised rule. The other workshops, related to draft NUREG-1556, Volume 9, "Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses; Program-Specific Guidance About Medical Use Licenses," were held at NRC headquarters in Rockville MD on April 25 and 30, 2002. The NRC is especially interested in stakeholder comments that will improve guidance to make it more risk- informed and performance-based.
