New Part 35 Stakeholder Workshops

["James Dwyer" <JPD1@NRC.GOV>]

10 CFR Part 35, Medical Use of Byproduct Material Workshops



The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will be conducting several workshops to inform external stakeholders of the changes made to 10 CFR Part 35, Medical Use of Byproduct Material (Part 35).  The purpose of these workshops is to provide stakeholders with the necessary information to promote a successful transition into the new rule.  The revised Part 35 is a risk-informed, and performance-based regulation that focuses on those medical procedures that pose the highest radiological risk to workers, patients, and the public.  The revised Part 35 was published in the Federal Register (67 FR 20249) on April 24, 2002, and will become effective on October 24, 2002.



The dates and locations for the workshops are described below.  Workshops will be conducted from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm.
