The staff participated on a panel sharing perspectives on the licensing of medical radioisotope facilities. In particular, staff shared unique attributes and challenges associated with its reviews of construction permit and operating license applications.
Participation on this panel furthered dialogue and understanding among staff, licensees, and technical stakeholders of the licensing processes associated with first-of-a-kind facilities. In particular, staff discussed the evaluation of computational software supporting license applications and the applicability of material control and accounting requirements to medical radioisotope facilities. Staff also chaired a session discussing licensing and implementation of digital instrumentation and control systems at non-power production and utilization facilities. Lastly, staff participated as a panelist where they shared recent experiences and lessons learned during digital upgrade reviews and the history of the development of Interim Staff Guidance augmenting NUREG-1537, Chapter 7, Instrumentation and Control Systems.
