This subcommittee of the Radiation Safety and Surveillance Committee (RSSC) reviews all uses of radioactive materials or radiation-producing equipment that result in exposure to human subjects. The chair of this committee is also an ex officio member of the RSSC.
Members are charged with assuring all such uses are within regulatory requirements, and that a net benefit results from the radiation exposure. Physiological studies which involve radioactive drug usage as defined in 21 CFR 361.1 are referred to the Radioactive Drug Research Committee for approval.
A quorum, necessary to conduct business, consists of 4 members to include the radiation safety officer. Meetings are held as necessary to review and conduct the business of the committee, with at least 1 meeting per calendar quarter.
