As you know, the necessity for testing Ail-developed instruments at "Greenhouse" became evident during the early part of 1950. It was felt that tests on instruments being developed by the 250 which had possible civil defense application = particularly dosage-rate seters and dosimeters - required actual field tests. Further, 2 field evaluation of tha icC Emercency. fonitoring Team kita waa felt necessary in order to determines the adecuacy ef the instruments and equipment in these kits. This, it secms to me, is especially important in light of the fact that the country's civil defense organization is not yet ready to stand on its owm feet and the As0's Emergency “onitoring Teams are, perhaps, the only organized units that presently can be ealled upon in tine of emergency. It is essential that we have some first-nand knowledge of the adequacy of the ecud:inent they are using. Thirdly, wea hope to vain from "Greenhouse" needed information on the serviceability and maintenance experience of health physics monitoring instruments. You are probably aware that Bob 3utenhoff, Chief of the 120's Radiation Instruments Granth in the Jivision of Biology and Medicine, is to be the akCts sole representative in this -roject. Consecuently, ve are counting rather heavily on him to return with information to guide us in our future .f6 instrumentation >rogram DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY DECLASSIFICATION REVIEW SINGLE REVit ww AUAORIZED a |"OLTERMINATION {CIRCLE NUMBER(S)] Ha GINsGatil Nos REVILVIHE!
