OSTI ID:5027661

A report analyzing the current (1979-80) federally supported research on the biological and health effects of ionizing radiation, identification of scientific and programmatic objectives, evaluation of the quality and scope of current research, and evaluation of research management and its impact on research accomplishments. Extensive reviews and recommendations are found in chapters on human health effects, radiation studies in animals, biological effects in systems other than whole animals and man, transport systems and ecologic studies, radiation risk abatement. Appendixes list all current research programs and discuss sources of radiation, measurement, epidemiology, internal and external animal radiation, and a compilation of research management practices of all pertinent federal agencies.
