Nuclear Medicine Clarification Act of 2025

This bill requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to change its rules about when hospitals and doctors must report problems with radioactive drugs. Currently, health care providers must report to the government when too much radioactive medicine is given to a patient. The bill specifically adds that they must also report when radioactive medicine accidentally leaks into tissue around a blood vessel during an injection, but only when the leaked amount exceeds certain quantities. The government had proposed similar rules in 2024, but those rules would have let doctors decide when to report based on whether they thought the patient might be injured, rather than using specific amounts of leaked medicine.
