           NRC SEEKS NOMINATIONS FOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE 
                   ON MEDICAL USES OF ISOTOPES 
 
     The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is inviting nominations for three 
persons to 
serve three-year terms as members of the Commission's Advisory Committee on 
the Medical 
Uses of Isotopes.  The openings are for a physician specializing in nuclear 
cardiology, for a 
patients' rights and care advocate, and for an individual with state or local 
government 
perspective to fill current and upcoming vacancies. 
 
     The committee advises NRC on policy and technical issues that arise in 
regulating the 
medical uses of radioactive byproduct material for diagnosis and therapy.  It 
also provides 
guidance and comments on changes in NRC regulations and guides on medical 
uses; evaluates 
certain non-routine uses of radioactive byproduct material for medical uses; 
and provides 
technical assistance in specific licensing, inspection, and enforcement cases. 
  
 
     Nominees for the three open positions must be U.S. citizens and be able 
to devote 
approximately 80 hours per year to committee business.  Members are 
compensated and 
reimbursed for travel, secretarial and correspondence expenses.  
 
     Nominations should include four copies of a resume describing educational 
and 
professional qualifications and a current address and telephone number.  They 
should be sent to 
the Office of Personnel, Attention:  Jude Himmelberg, Mail Stop T2D32, U.S. 
Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.  20555.  Nominations are due by May 
23, 1997.
