radiation toxicity, which would make me wrong now,but I don't think that's
going to come very soon. Well, I think that sort of delivers my message
whichisn't very much. Incidentaiy, if you want a comprehensive book; I
don't think you have the technical background to deal with this. Are you
familiar with these books?

BERGE:

I've seen various other types of book that deal with the same.

KOHN:

There is no other one that is as comprehensive and as though as

this one: Sources, Effects, and Risks of Ionizing Radiation.

United Nations

Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, 1988 Report to the
General Assembly, with annexes.

BERGE:

Did you also work on this committee?

KOHN:

I worked, I helped the first committee that produced one of

these. I think that was back in 1957 or something like that. I helped as a
consultant to the staff of the book but I haven't done anything with it since.
These people now have an office in Vienna. This is really a monumental
work.

BERGE:

Whatkind of consulting did you do for them? Were they asking

you about facts, about?

KOHN:

No, I came into the office and I did the chapter on radiation

biology.
