fiscal year 1958.
Essentially, the program consists
of several parts.
DOMESTIC

TRAINING

1.

PROGRAM

The radiological physics program is to be increased

by the addition of twenty-five fellows and the

stipend is to be raised to $2,500.

e.

A new program of advanced training in radiological

physics at the PhD level is planned in order to

provide personnel for some of the administrative jobs within the
AEC program.
This is planned for five or more candidates and

will cost approximately $50,000.
3.

The industrial hygiere and industrial medical program is the

This presents a problem in that there are so many more such
