CIRRPC: Fifth annual report
- Office of Science and Technology Policy, Washington, DC (United States)
As CIRRPC moved into its fifth year of operation, and in preparation for the transition to a new Presidential Administration, the Executive Committee held a retreat of its members to review I performance and seek guidance on future activities. An Ad Hoc planning group was established to develop a plan to address radiation issues that are important to the Nation. The Report of the Ad Hoc Planning Group. Stressed that there are both broad and specific issues, some of which are extensions of ongoing activities, that need to be considered by CIRRPC. Of high priority to agencies is the development of consensus views on issues which involve both science and policy considerations, for example, on ``acceptable risk,`` and the consistency of radiation protection standards (follow-up to ``Fact Sheets`` report). The role of CIRRPC`s in defining policy issues, identifying research gaps and objectives, and participating in public awareness and education requires reexamination of the ``coordination only`` and ``low visibility`` image presently in place. OSTP`s support role should be addressed in this reexamination.
