Abstract: It is shown that the spectral radius is continuous on a $C^{\ast }$-algebra if and only if the $C^{\ast }$-algebra is type I. This answers a question of V. Shulman and Yu.~Turovskii [10]. It is shown also that the closure of nilpotents in a $C^{\ast }$-algebra contains an element with non-zero spectrum if and only if the $C^{\ast }$-algebra is not type I.
