  Subject:      Three-Dimensional Models of Radiation Risk
  
                Dr. Raabe will present information relating to the current 
                debate about the linearity of radiation dose-response.  
                Using three-dimensional models, the reason for an effective 
                threshold for protracted exposure to ionizing radiation 
                will be discussed.  These relationships will be illustrated 
                using animal and human data for internally deposited 
                radionuclides for both alpha and beta emitters.
  
  Affiliate's   The Chapter's Affiliates will be demonstrating their
  Information:  products during the social hour.  Visit their booths and 
                drop off a business card to win one of several door prizes.
