16 REMEMBER!!!
Pathways to AU Approval
- 1. Current AU on an NRC or Agreement State license for the same use being requested
- 2. Board Certification
- 3. Current AU for 35.300 (unsealed material), 35.400 (manual brachytherapy), or 35.600 (remote afterloader, teletherapy, gamma stereotactic radiosurgery units) seeking additional authorizations
- 4. Training and Experience
17 Current AU for same uses requested Case 1:
Dr. Goodfellow has been employed by South Hospital as a nuclear medicine physician since 1989. He is listed on their NRC license for use of unsealed byproduct materials under 10 CFR 35.300. He has been offered a position at North Hospital across town.
- May he be authorized for 10 CFR 35.300 on the new license?
18 19 Current AU for same uses requested Case 1:
Yes, Dr. Goodfellow may be listed on the new license for uses under 10 CFR 35.300 because he is currently listed on an NRC license for the same uses.
At this point, this is the only way a physician may be authorized for all of 10 CFR 35.300.
20 Current AU for same uses requested Case 2:
A licensee requests that Dr. Kupec be added to their NRC license for Oral administration of sodium iodide I-131 in quantities less than or equal to 33 mCi. As evidence of his experience, the licensee provides a copy of a current Agreement State license listing Dr.
Kupec for the identical use.
- May Dr. Kupec be listed for this use on the NRC license?
21 22 Current AU for same uses requested Case 1:
Yes, Dr. Kupec may be listed for the use of sodium iodide I-131 based on his current listing of the use on the Agreement State license.*
- Note that often, Agreement State licenses reference their State Regulations and you may have to review these to determine if the category of use is the same.
23 Board Certification
Three pieces of information are normally necessary to approve a proposed AU by the board certification pathway:
- 1. Specialty board certification recognized by NRC under 10 CFR 35.300 (The current list and certification dates allowing approval are found on the NRCs website: http://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/med-use-toolkit/spec-board-cert.html)
- 2. Clinical case experience
- 3. Preceptor Attestation
Note: NRC Form 313A (AUT) may be used to document Items 2 and 3
24 Board Certification Case:
ABC Hospital has requested that Dr. Smith be added to their license for the use of sodium iodide I-131. Dr.
Smith is a board certified Nuclear Medicine physician.

Training & Experience NOTE:
10 CFR 35.392 (b) states that if a physician is authorized for the use of 35.394 materials, they may be authorized for 35.392.
Therefore, Dr. Jones could be approved for the use of sodium iodide I-131 for both less than and greater than 33 mCi.
58 Training & Experience Case (contd.):
What if Dr. Jones had documented 5 cases of sodium iodide I-131 less than or equal to 33 mCi and 2 cases of sodium iodide I-131 greater than 33 mCi?
- 35.394(c)(2)(vi) requires that the proposed AU have experience administering dosages in at least 3 cases involving the oral administration of greater than 33 mCi of sodium iodide I-131.
Therefore, Dr. Jones would be authorized for sodium iodide I-131 less than or equal to 33 mCi only. 59
