NRC AND FDA JURISDICTIONS
The NRC has a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the FDA that outlines the roles, responsibilities, and jurisdiction of each agency with respect to radioactive materials. Both the
FDA maintain webpages to provide further discussion of their jurisdictions. In sum, while the NRC or agreement states regulate radioactive materials, the FDA reviews the safety and use of radiopharmaceuticals and machines that produce radiation but do not make or use radioactive material.
