The members will be nominated by peers and recommended by DOE technical staff. Expert members are appointed as special Government employees (SGEs), regular Government employees (RGEs), and ex-officio members. In addition, representatives of national professional organizations, international partners in isotope science and technology, nuclear engineering, physics, nuclear and radiochemistry, medicine, national security, business practices; and other entities, including research facilities and academic institutions, may be appointed, as appropriate, should the Committee’s function benefit from such representation. The Committee’s membership balance is not static and may change depending on DOE’s charges to the Committee.
