The ACMUI brachytherapy radiation oncologist provides advice on
issues associated with radiation oncology and the clinical use of
brachytherapy, including the use of permanently implanted microspheres.
This advice includes providing input on NRC proposed rules and
guidance, providing recommendations on the training and experience
requirements for physicians specializing in this use, identifying
medical events associated with this use, evaluating non-routine uses of
byproduct material and emerging medical technologies, bringing key
issues in the radiation oncology community to the attention of NRC
staff, and other radiation oncology issues as they relate to radiation
safety and NRC medical use policy.
The ACMUI advises the NRC on policy and technical issues that arise
in the regulation of the medical use of byproduct material.
Responsibilities of an ACMUI member include providing comments on
changes to the NRC regulations and guidance; evaluating certain non-
routine uses of byproduct material; providing technical assistance in
licensing, inspection, and enforcement cases; and bringing key issues
to the attention of the NRC staff, for appropriate action. Committee
members currently serve a four-year term and may be considered for
reappointment to an additional term.
Nominees must be U.S. citizens and be able to devote approximately
160 hours per year to ACMUI business. Members are expected to attend

are reimbursed for travel expenses only.
Security Background CHECK: The selected nominee will undergo a
