Rutar's expertise is dealing with radioactive materials that are used for research or medical treatment. As UNMC's chemical and safety radiation specialist, his role is to help UNMC and its hospital partner, The Nebraska Medical Center, comply with the state's radiation safety regulations, which fill a two-inch thick, yellow binder in Annex III.https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/rutarfrank2004.jpg
