orized positions at Aces head
quarters and at its field offices
throughout the United States. Sal
aries will range from $8,O25 to $17,-
925 a year.
Competent personnel are need
ed in the fields of reactor develop
ment, physical, research, biology
and medicine and Acc regulatory
activities. g4
The recruitment effort, which
is being directed by the Aces
Division of Personnel, is focused
on obtaining nuclear engineers,
nuclear physicists, nuclear safety
engineers, health physicists, radi-
alton specialists, physicists, math-
ematicians, biologists and all other
types of biomedical scientists.
Atomic Energy Commission pro-
grams provide the nuclear engi-
neer and scientist with a unique
professional vantage point. This
opportunity becomes particularly
evident during the management
of a variety of nuclear and radio
logical life science projects of wide
chronological scope and in the con-
ception, evaluation and planning
OF research and development pro-
jects.
A basic educational requirement
for candidates in the nuclear re-
actor field is a Bachelor of Sci
ence degree or its equivalent in
nuclear engineering, physics, me-
chanical engineering, chemical en-
gineering, metallurgical engineer
ing or electrical engineering.
Atomic energy experience cutting
across such fields as reactor op-
erations, reactor design, reactor
safety, heat transfer, fluid flow,
thermodynamics, reactor mater
ials, reator fuels, shielding and
related activities is a requisite.
In the health physics-radiation
protection field, the basic require
ment is a Bachelors degree in the
physical sciences and mathematics,
with specialized training and ex-
perience in health physics and
Pathological safety in atomic en-
ergy activities, plants and labora-
tories.
For most positions in physical
and biomedical research activi-
ties, the basic requirements are
a Ph.D, degree or its equivalent
in physics, chemistry, mathema-
tics, biology, physiology or related
life sciences with research exper-
ience in atomic energy activities
Personnel acre needed primar-
lily for assistance in:
a. Development and evaluation
of reactor systems covering a
wide range of nuclear technology,
including space nuclear propulsion,
space nuclear applications, nu-
clear safety, civilian power, and
peaceful and military nuclear ap-
plications.
b. Review and evaluation of the
nuclear hazards associated with
the engineering or physics aspects
of design, development and opera
tionS of reactorS for aeroSpace
applications, power generation and
for research and test operations.
c. Inspection and evaluation to
determine compliance with health
and safety standards related to the
use of special nuclear materials
and for reactor facility operating
conditions.
d. Administration and technical
direction of physical research in
nuclear technology and biomedi-
cal research on radiation effects.
These science administrative po-
Sitions, it has been found, appeal
greatly to-, men interested in the
broader aspects of the field and
those interested in the coordina-
ton of information and activities
of several scientific disciplines.
Atomic Energy Commission Of
ficialS are planning recruitment
visits to key localities throughout
the country to meet with prospec-
