NRC INVITES NOMINATIONS FOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE 

ON MEDICAL USES OF ISOTOPES

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking nominations for the position of 

Agreement State representative on the agency’s Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of 

Isotopes (ACMUI). Committee members currently serve a four-year term and may be considered 

for reappointment to an additional term.

The ACMUI advises NRC on policy and technical issues that arise in the regulation of 

the medical use of radioactive materials. Responsibilities include providing comments on 

changes to NRC rules, regulations, and guidance documents; evaluating certain non-routine uses 

of radioactive material; providing technical assistance in licensing, inspection, and enforcement 

cases; and bringing key issues to the attention of NRC for appropriate action.

The 13-member ACMUI possess the medical and technical skills needed to address 

evolving issues. The current membership is comprised of the following positions: nuclear 

medicine physician; nuclear cardiologist; medical physicist in nuclear medicine; therapy medical 

physicist; radiation safety officer; nuclear pharmacist; two radiation oncologists; patients' rights 

advocate; Food and Drug Administration representative; Agreement State representative; and 

health care administrator and diagnostic radiologist. For additional information about 

membership on the ACMUI, visit the ACMUI Membership web page at the NRC’s website.

Nominees for the Agreement State position must be U.S. citizens and be able to devote 

approximately 160 hours per year to Committee business and have professional or personal 

experience with or knowledge of current Agreement States regulations. Also, involvement or 

leadership Agreement States advocacy organizations is preferred. Members are expected to 

attend semi-annual meetings in Rockville, Md., and to participate in teleconferences, as needed. 

Members who are not federal employees are compensated for their service. In addition, nonfederal members are reimbursed for travel and correspondence expenses. Full-time federal 

employees are reimbursed for travel expenses only. The selected nominee will undergo a 

thorough security background check. Security paperwork may take the nominee several weeks to 

complete. Nominees will also be required to complete a financial disclosure statement to assure 

that there are no conflicts of interest.
