SUMMARY:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will convene a teleconference meeting on July 17, 2003, between members of NRC staff and the Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes (ACMUI). This meeting will be held to discuss and develop the ACMUI's recommendations regarding NRC staff's proposed language to amend the training and experience requirements for authorized users, authorized medical physicists, authorized nuclear pharmacists, and radiation safety officers, as these requirements are currently outlined in the revised 10 CFR part 35. During this meeting, NRC staff and ACMUI will engage in detailed discussions pertaining to NRC staff's recommendations contained in a draft document that staff will later finalize and forward to the Commission for a vote. The draft document contains predecisional information not appropriate for public release.
