city and campus organizations.

Numerous requests are received,

The
staff also assumed the responsibility for and served as members
of the local Atomic Energy Commission emergency monitoring team.
Radiological problems that have arisen at the Boeing
Company, the local civil defense organization and at other
radiological laboratories on the campus have been brought to
our staff members for discussion and advice.

Monitoring team
In the spring of 1950, when the United States Atomic
Energy Commission voluntarily undertook the provision of
civil defense emergency monitoring service, the University
of Washington organized a fourteen-man emergency monitoring
team, with Dr. Donaldson of the Applied Fisheries Laboratory
as team captain.
This group has been active for four years,
meeting as scheduled, giving lectures,
and providing technical
advice and other services whenever called upon.
