To take this one step further, how many licensees are doing things differently since the implementation of the revision to 10 CFR 35.  Please let me know and I will assemble a listing.

The ACNP/SNM Guide is, in my opinion, far more sensible, realistic, and cost effective than NRC's Vol. 9.  NRC has endorsed this alternative guidance---it is basically an "industry standard---and has mentioned it in RIS 2002-23, issued Nov. 27, 2002.  It is also mentioned in the March issue of NRC's "NMSS Licensee Newsletter" (p.7).  By the way, the ACNP/SNM Guide for Therapy Nuclear Medicine is finished and being reviewed at present.
