NAEG/REECo COORDINATION ACTIVITIES D. L. Wireman, D. N. Brady, and L. M. Rakow Reynolds Electrical & Engineering Co., Inc. Las Vegas, Nevada ABSTRACT Coordination activities performed by the Reynolds Electrical & Engineering Co., Inc. (REECo), coordination staff, for the Nevada Applied Ecology Group (NAEG) , are presented in this report. Since this is the first NAEG report on NAEG/REECo coordination activities, a brief history is included to give the reader an orientation on the chronological development of NAEG/REECo coordination functions. A description of NAEG/REECo coordination activities currently in progress is also included. INTRODUCTION NAEG/REECo coordination basically consists of bringing NAEG problems together with the people, equipment, and money needed to solve them. The need for a Nevada Applied Ecology Group (NAEG) Coordinator to act as liaison between the NAEG and Reynolds Electrical & Engineering Co., Inc. (REECo), was identified late in 1971, at which time the first Radiological Services Coordinator was appointed. The initial problems encountered by the coordinator were to determine the scope and support needs of the NAEG as defined by the NAEG Scientific Program Manager's "Coordination Plan for NAEG Studies," 1971. This plan outlined formats for study proposals by NAEG investigators, established the general functions of a biostatistician and mathematical modeler, defined the need for effective coordination to ensure that conflicts did not occur with ongoing and planned NAEG activities, and identified the need for logistical requirements. 297
