Call for Papers Dealing with Radiation Protection and Litigation

The editors of Health Physics, the Radiation Protection Journal, plan to 
publish a special issue on litigation and radiation protection.  Special 
editors for this issue will be Bruce Busby, Lawrence Winans, David Weidis 

and Don Jose.  

Anyone with involvement in litigation of radiation exposures or has 
research interests in the historical, environmental, industrial or social 

impact of radiation related litigation is invited to submit an abstract 
for consideration. Other related areas for possible submission would 
include legal issues of patents, risk management and liability insurance, 

document requirements, expert witnesses and privacy issues. In addition,  

we would like to have papers that would serve the Health Physics 
community 
with guidance on how to prepare yourself if you ever were involved in 
testifying, how and what to say, how to say it, etc. I also feel that 
contributions 
on how to manage your program to protect your employer from liability 
would 
be of interest. Recordkeeping, dosimetry, extent of investigations, 
calculations,
documentation, oversight, teaching, etc. are good topics to be 
considered. 

Deadline for  the abstracts will be 1 October 1998. 

After review of abstracts for relevance, authors will be invited to 
submit completed manuscripts for consideration in the special issue. 
Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their abstracts by 1 
November and final manuscripts will be due 15 January 1999. All 
manuscripts will be peer reviewed. 

Abstracts should be limited to 500 words. Both abstracts and manuscripts 
should be submitted according to the instructions to contributors that 
appear in the January and July issues of Health Physics or found at the 
Journal's Web site  
(www.wwilkins.com/health_physics/0017-9078aut-sub.html). 

Questions can be sent to Bruce Busby , E-mail: babusby@aol.com, Phone: 
360-236-3222, fax: 360-236-2255.
