NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Errata to Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued an errata sheet to a 
new guide in its Regulatory Guide Series. Equations 2 and 3 on page 2 
of Regulatory Guide 8.39, ``Release of Patients Administered 
Radioactive Materials,'' were misstated when the guide was issued in 
April 1997. Parentheses were omitted from the denominator of both 
equations. The equations should read:
    For radionuclides with a physical half-life greater than 1 day:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN23MY97.000
    
    For radionuclides with a physical half-life less than or equal to 1 
day and if an occupancy factor of 1.0 is used:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN23MY97.001

    Regulatory Guide 8.39, ``Release of Patients Administered 
Radioactive Materials,'' provides guidance to licensees on complying 
with the NRC's regulations on determining when the licensee may 
authorize the release of a patient who has been administered 
radiopharmaceuticals or permanent implants containing radioactive 
material. The guide also provides guidance on instructions that may be 
necessary for such patients and on records that may be needed for such 
patients.
    Comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in 
guides currently being developed or improvements in all published 
guides are encouraged at any time. Written comments may be submitted to 
the Rules Review and Directives Branch, Division of Freedom of
