NRC Release Criteria

[CMMI012 RSO <rso.gscancer@worldnet.att.net>]

Hello Everyone,
Given the fact that the new NRC criteria for the release of patients 
administered radioactive material (NUREG-1492) will come into effect on 
5/29, what will be the resopnisibility of non-agreement state regulators 
(e.g. New Jersey)? Can/will they have any "jurisdiction" over the 
release criteria, or do NRC regs take precedence in non-agreement 
states? This is probably going to be a "hot" topic, and probably 
deserves some discussion. Will non-agreemnet states have to follow NRC 
guidelines as a matter of fact, or do the appropriate state agencies 
have to be petitioned by individual organizations, or need to "give 
their blessings"? Any help/discussion would be greatly appreciated.
