This consisted of tha standards for chronic exposure to external radistion and te internal emitters (the Harwell values agreed upon by Grogt ritain, Canada and the 0.5.)3 and peraieaible emergency exposures for AS’ monitoring tean personnel, established as followss 1. Wr for thoge individuals expected to receive exposures in the course of their regular dutios as Arc personnel. 2 25 © ~ for those individusls not expected to receive exposure in thea normal course of their duties. Loan of Radiation Detection Instruments and Sources for Civil Defense training Pprposes On January 5 a jeint somorandun of the Directors of Research md Jiology and uedicina to the Director, Isctopes Divisten, entlined the agreed-upon eduinistrative and financialarranesente to govern the lean of radicactive isotopes for civil defense training. Ceste of this progrun will, be met from funds available to the Division of Siology end Nedicine. Duriog the sonth loans ef instruments and/or sources werw arranged through the Operations Offices and the Isotepes vision, 0800, with approval of the FCDA, for eivil. defense training courres to be given by Ohic State University, University of Nebraska, towa State University, the cities of Hilwaukes, Wisconsin, ami Berkeley, » and the Stete of Connecticut. Slides frou "The Bifects of Atenic Hespons® in response to requests for training material from graduates of the radiolegical monitoring courses held lest year, Broekheven National Laboratery has arranged for the produetion of a set of 72 slides of selected figures, charts and photographs from "The Effects of Atemlo Weapons." Information concerning precuraxent of slides has been furnished interested AEC organisations, the NSRB and the FCDA. Radiation Inatrunents Branch. The asG aponsored programs for the de«elopnent of instrumentation techniques far possible civil defense une were summarised in a letter sent to the FCLA on damury 9. The purpose of the letter was: (1) to inform the FCDA of the status of these programs, (2) to determne if they were interested in having the AEC instrumentation groups farther concern themselves with eivil defense instrument development, and (3) to request their advice relative te taking certain AEC developed prototypes through « comsereial enginesring phase. . A draft of a roport sumvarising Departnont of Defense spenscred projects in radiat.on detection Lastrunentation has bcen completed and is being presently Peviewed oy the re .ponsible military aguncles prior te reprocuation for AkC internal distribution.
