Abstract

The Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes (ACMUI) provides a valuable service to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) through advice and recommendations. To be able to advise effectively, it is important that ACMUI members have a basic understanding of the committee’s role and responsibilities. Likewise, it is also important that members have a basic understanding of NRC processes and requirements. Effective advice serves medical patients and the public by enabling the NRC Commission to make decisions based on the issues currently impacting the medical regulated community. The ACMUI should help the NRC staff to ensure that any regulations that are developed promote safety and are useful, realistic, practical, and not overly burdensome.
