Seifert will be leaving her position as the director of the
Quality and Regulatory department at CH at the end of December to
join Seifert and Associates, a managed care consulting firm she will operate

Nuclear Pharmacy Section of the APhA and on many different
committees and councils within the Society of Nuclear Medicine.
She was involved with the ACMUI in providing critical input to NRC

Nuclear energy has
played a vital role in the study of our solar
system. Radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs),
which convert heat produced from radioactive decay
into electricity, are used to power our space
crafts. The Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, and Ulysses
missions have required the use of RTGs for
electrical power. Ulysses, which was launched in
1990 to study the sun, uses electricity produced by
a single RTG to power all its equipment and
instruments. Plutonium-238, the radioisotope used
in the RTG, has an 87.7 year half-life, which
allows missions to last many years. The Ulysses
mission is scheduled to last until 2008.
