(Participation in the Genetic Sub-subgroup at the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation): Foreign trip report, June 13--17, 1988

Selby, P B

The traveler attended the thirty-seventh session of UNSCEAR where he took an active part in the deliberations of the Genetic Sub-subgroup. When that group was not in session, he either took part in sessions of the Biology Subgroup or observed sessions of the main UNSCEAR committee. The traveler was responsible for making substantive changes in the two documents dealing with genetics that were completed at this meeting. Both reports will be published later this year. 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 a representative from the United States present 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.
