ASTRO Government Relations Council Chair meets with new NRC commissioner

October 14, 2022

ASTRO’s Government Relations Council Chair Howard Sandler, MD, MS, FASTRO, met with new NRC Commissioner Bradley Crowell on October 13. Commissioner Crowell was sworn in on August 26, 2022. After a brief introduction to ASTRO, the discussion focused on ASTRO’s opposition to a petition for rulemaking on the Reporting Nuclear Medicine Injection Extravasations as Medical Events. ASTRO believes that adding NRC oversight of extravasation will unnecessarily increase regulatory burden for licensees without a radiological or patient safety benefit, and therefore opposes rulemaking in this matter. The Commission has not yet voted on the petition.
