Abstract: This is a request for a Reinstatement with Change for approval for 3 years. The reinstatement is requested to administer a slightly revised version of a previously-approved and administered questionnaire to a sample of nuclear medicine technologists certified after 1980. The reason for the proposed collection is to assess the feasibility of conducting a large-scale study of radiation-related cancers and other diseases in nuclear medicine technologists.
