NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Errata to Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued an errata sheet to a
new guide in its Regulatory Guide Series. Equations 2 and 3 on page 2
of Regulatory Guide 8.39, ``Release of Patients Administered
Radioactive Materials,'' were misstated when the guide was issued in
April 1997. Parentheses were omitted from the denominator of both
equations. The equations should read:
For radionuclides with a physical half-life greater than 1 day:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN23MY97.000
For radionuclides with a physical half-life less than or equal to 1
day and if an occupancy factor of 1.0 is used:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN23MY97.001
Regulatory Guide 8.39, ``Release of Patients Administered
Radioactive Materials,'' provides guidance to licensees on complying
with the NRC's regulations on determining when the licensee may
authorize the release of a patient who has been administered
radiopharmaceuticals or permanent implants containing radioactive
material. The guide also provides guidance on instructions that may be
necessary for such patients and on records that may be needed for such
patients.
Comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in
guides currently being developed or improvements in all published
guides are encouraged at any time. Written comments may be submitted to
the Rules Review and Directives Branch, Division of Freedom of
Information and Publications Services, Office of Administration, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
