   Once again, the Baltimore-Washington Chapter of the Health Physics 
   Society and the Washington, DC Local Section of the American Nuclear 
   Society have teamed together to bring what will prove to be an 
   interesting and provocative technical program.
   
   Our featured speaker, Theodore Rockwell will discuss "Being Cautious 
   About Radiation is Killing People."  Mr. Rockwell has been directly 
   involved in nuclear power for more than a half century.  Early in his 
   career, Mr. Rockwell particpated in the atomic bomb project at Oak Ridge 
   and later headed the Radiation Shield Engineering Group at Oak Ridge 
   National Laboratory.  He subsequently joined the Navy Nuclear Propulsion 
   Program where he became director of the Nuclear Technology Division.  He 
   provided technical direction helping to assure the safe operation of 
   nuclear-powered naval vessels and the development of the world's first 
   commercial nuclear power plant at Shippingport, PA.  After leaving the 
   Navy Nuclear Propulsion Program, he set up MPR Associates, an 
   engineering firm, in Washington, DC.  Mr. Rockwell helped develop and 
   manage the firm for nearly 25 years.
