If a Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) is required, do all designated members of the RSC have to be present to have a “meeting”?
No. 10 CFR 35.24(f) sets out the requirements for the RSC, should one be necessary. These requirements do not specify that all designated members of the RSC must be present. As explained in the Supplementary Information for this regulation, most of the prescriptive requirements and committee tasks formerly in Part 35 have been deleted from the current rule. Only the Committee membership is specified in §35.24(f). Refer to “Supplementary Information,” Section III, “Summary of Public Comments and Responses to Comments” for §35.24, as published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2002.
