ACP research and scientific coordination: Annual performance report
Abstract
This research grant addresses two primary objectives: 1. Conduct of specific research tasks under the DOE Atmospheric Chemistry Program (ACP), and 2. Provision of scientific coordination for the Atmospheric Chemistry Program. In summary, the project is progressing essentially as expected, with some minor exceptions. Higher than anticipated demands within Objective 2, associated primarily with the ACP Ozone Project and the recompetition of the National Laboratories protion of ACP, have resulted in a somewhat higher proportionate emphasis on the coordination activities associated with this objective. Also, the immediate need for pre-campaign modeling of the North Pacific has resulted in an acceleration of the Pacific modeling task relative to other tasks, particularly the Atlantic modeling task. Modeling activities in general have been delayed somewhat because of the noted Objective 2 demands and because of the extended time that was necessary to complete financial agreements for this grant.

The fundamental scientific issue addressed in this proposal, obtaining an improved understanding of the physical and chemical processes responsible for earthquakes along major fault zones, is clearly of global scientific interest. By sampling the San Andreas fault zone and making direct measurements of fault zone properties to 4.0 km at Parkfield they will be studying an active plate-boundary fault at a depth where aseismic creep and small earthquakes occur and where a number of the scientific questions associated with deeper fault zone drilling can begin to be addressed. Also, the technological challenges associated with drilling, coring, downhole measurements and boreholemore »

CIRRPC (Committee on Interagency Radiation Research and Policy Coordination) scientific report on the report of the Ad Hoc Working Group to Develop Radioepidemiological tables
Although the Orphan Drug Act requires that tables be produced for a range of dose from one millirad to 1000 rad, the Working Group chose to make no estimates below one rad. The Science Panel is in agreement with the judgment because in the low-dose range there is little empirical evidence of a carcinogenic effect in humans. -
CIRRPC (Committee on Interagency Radiation Research and Policy Coordination) scientific report on the draft report of the Ad Hoc Working Group to develop radioepidemiological tables
The report evaluates the draft report with respect to the scientific considerations underlying the establishment of radioepidemiological tables to be used to determine the probability that given cancers occurring in people with previous radiation exposure have been caused by such exposure. -
CIRRPC (Committee on Interagency Radiation Research and Policy Coordination) scientific review of the proposal: VA (Veterans Administration) assessment of veterans with military service at sites of temporarily augmented ionizing radiation
Public Law 98-160 requires the Administrator of Veterans Affairs with the Director, Office of Technology Assessment, to determine the feasibility of conducting a scientifically valid study of the long-term adverse health effects of exposure to low-level ionizing radiation during military service in Japan or at nuclear-weapons tests. The VA proposal indicates that 99% of exposed veterans received less than 5 rem and the average exposure of the entire group of about 250,000 veterans was 0.5 rem, a very low dose. A matched control group would be questioned, as would the exposed veterans, in Phase I and a selected portion wouldmore » -
Annual report to Congress, fiscal year 1997. A report by the Scientific Advisory Board of the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program: Annual report number 6
Section 2904(h) of Title 10, United States Code, requires that an annual report of the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) be submitted to Congress no later than March 15 of each year. The Annual Report is required to describe the actions of the SAB during the preceding year and to provide any recommendations, including recommendations related to projects, programs, information exchange, and additional legislation within the scope of SERDP. This is the sixth Annual Report of the SERDP SAB and includes SAB activities and Program recommendations during FY97. Specifically, SERDP should focus on researchmore »
