Re: Re[2]: IH/HP question

To all,

The qualifications of the Radiation Safety Officer for an US
Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensed program (medical) are 
given in Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 35 (Subpart 
J--Training and Experience Reguirements).

    35.900 Radiation Safety Officer
    35.901 Training for experienced Radiation Safety Officer

The other parts of Subpart J deal with the provisions of
specific services involving the use of radionuclides (generally
applied to Nuclear Medicine physicians and MDs associated with
other specialties that occassionally use byproduct material
in medicine).

For the RSO, the following board certifications are recognized:

    ABHP (Comprehensive HP NOT Reactor HP)
    ABR
    ABSNM
    BPS (Nuclear Pharmacy)

Otherwise, that is for the non-certified majority, the number 
of training hours/subjects and experience must be applied (and 
determined/approved) before appointment!  This level of detail 
is NOT provided in 10CFR20.

Good Day,

MikeG.
