NCRP call for scientific data

[Darryl Kaurin <dkaurin@eden.rutgers.edu>]

I would like to echo Alden Tschaeche's comments he gave in the
August HPS Newsletter, p.22, on RADSAFE in encouraging
individuals to submit biological data on the effects of radiation
at low doses to NCRP Scientific Committee 1-6.

Following is a restatement of the call for data given on p.22 of
the August 1996 HPS Newsletter.


NCRP Calls for Scientific Data

The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) has established a scientific committee to review data
relevant to the shape of the dose response relationship for
mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of ionizing radiation at low
doses.  The Committee will complete a major survey of the
available experimental and clinical literature, but to assist it
in ensuring that important scientific data are reviewed, the
scientific community is invited to provide relevant references
and/or data to the Chairman of the Committee, Arthur C. Upton, by
30 September 1996.  Responses should be mailed to:

7910 Woodmont Ave
Suite 800
Bethesda MD 20814-3095

Attention: Dr. A. C. Upton, Chairman, Scientific Committee 1-6
