material. This advice includes providing input on NRC proposed rules
and guidance documents; providing recommendations on the training and

medical and research facilities, and other issues as they relate to
radiation safety and NRC medical-use policy. This individual is

Responsibilities of an ACMUI member include providing comments on
changes to the NRC regulations and guidance; evaluating certain non-
routine uses of byproduct material; providing technical assistance in

to the attention of the NRC staff, for appropriate action. Committee
