Bill would require NRC reporting of nuclear medicine extravasations
Bipartisan legislation introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this month seeks to close a loophole that currently allows medical patients to be unintentionally exposed to radiation without reporting or disclosure. The Nuclear Medicine Clarification Act of 2025 (H.R. 2541) was introduced into the House by Reps. Don Davis (D., N.C.), Morgan Griffith (R., Va.), and Ben Cline (R., Va.), who said the legislation would improve care and ensure transparency for patients and simplify federal rules coming from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
