Abstract
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for regulating nuclear material, including any nuclides used in brachytherapy. All medical sources are classified as nuclear byproduct material. Use of byproduct material requires an authorized user and a radiation safety officer, as well as a written directive and a quality management program (QMP). Deviations from the written directive may be classified as medical events (misadministrations) depending on their severity.
