 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking nominations for the position of radiation 

oncologist on the Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes (ACMUI). 

 Committee members currently serve a four-year term and may be considered for 

reappointment to an additional term. 

 The ACMUI advises NRC on policy and technical issues that arise in the regulation of 

the medical use of radioactive materials. Responsibilities include providing comments on 

changes to NRC rules, regulations, and guidance documents; evaluating certain non-routine uses 

of radioactive material; providing technical assistance in licensing, inspection, and enforcement 

cases; and bringing key issues to the attention of NRC for appropriate action. 

 ACMUI members possess the medical and technical skills needed to address evolving 

issues. The current membership is comprised of the following positions: nuclear medicine 

physician; nuclear cardiologist; medical physicist in nuclear medicine [unsealed byproduct 

material]; therapy medical physicist; radiation safety officer; nuclear pharmacist; two radiation 

oncologists; patients' rights advocate; Food and Drug Administration representative; state 

representative; and health care administrator.

to Committee business and have current radiotherapy experience using a Gamma Knife®. 

Members who are not federal employees are compensated for their service. In addition, nonfederal members are reimbursed for travel, secretarial and correspondence expenses. Full-time 

federal employees are reimbursed for travel expenses only. The selected nominee will undergo a 

thorough security background check. Security paperwork may take the nominee several weeks to
