FINAL RULE- 10 CFR PARTS 30, 32, and
35, MEDICAL USE OF BYPRODUCT MATERIAL, MEDICAL EVENT DEFINITIONS,
TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, AND CLARIFYING AMENDMENTS The U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations related to
the medical use of byproduct material. The final rule will amend
the NRC regulations related to the medical use of byproduct
material. This rule amends the reporting and notification
requirements for a medical event (ME) for permanent implant
brachytherapy. This rule also amends the training and experience
(T&E) requirements to remove from multiple sections the
requirement to obtain a written attestation for an individual who
is certified by a specialty board whose certification process has
been recognized by the NRC or an Agreement State; and address a
request filed in a petition for rulemaking (PRM), PRM-35-20, to
exempt certain board-certified individuals from certain T&E
requirements (i.e., “grandfather” these individuals). Additionally,
this rule amends the requirements for measuring molybdenum
contamination; adds a new requirement for the reporting of failed
technetium and rubidium generators; and allows licensees to name
associate radiation safety officers (ARSOs) on a medical license.
NOTE: This rule affects three clearances: 10 CFR 30 (3150-0017), 10
CFR 35 (3150-0010), and NRC Form 313 (3150-0120).
The final rule will increase
burden for Part 35 by 31,359. The amendments that affect the burden
and/or cost for complying with the regulations constitute the
elements of a safety program the NRC considers essential to provide
a risk-informed, performance-based approach for regulating the
medical use of byproduct material. This final rule will reduce the
potential unwarranted radiation exposure to patients, provide
greater flexibility to licensees, reduce the paperwork burden for
licensees, and clarify current regulations. See Supporting
