(Genetic effects of atomic radiation)
The traveler attended the Thirty-sixth session of UNSCEAR where he took an active part in the deliberations of the Genetic Sub-subgroup. Good progress was made in discussing the two documents that are in preparation that deal with genetics. Approximately one-third of the traveler's time was spent observing sessions of the main UNSCEAR committee itself, and the remainder was spent in the Genetic Sub-subgroup. Important contacts were made with several prominent geneticists. It was apparent how important it is to ORNL, to DOE, to the United States Government, and to UNSCEAR itself to have at least one representative from the United States on the Genetic Sub-subgroup who has firsthand familiarity with the mouse data that are used to such an important extent in genetic risk estimation. Many of these data were collected in the Biology Division of ORNL.
