1. Over the past r an extensive amount of radiation equipment
dered To date, about three-fourths of
has been or ea
this equipment has been receive .
2. This equipment was checked in and standardized by a radiation
technician who has since resigned. The only other person familiar with
the equipment (C/FCD) has also resigned. There is, then, the need for
additional personnel trained in use of this equipment.
3. It should be noted that in the plan for use of this equipment,
at least 60 to 70 per cent of the total amount of equipment should be
stored for use in the Washington area.
4. The following recommendations are therefore made:
a. That a fully qualified person with extensive scientific
background and experience in radiation equipment be cleared for
use as a consultant.
b. That this person supervise the overall planning and use
of equipment and prescribe necessary safety standards. (It is
anticipated that after the program is established, he would be
consulted once or twice a year to suggest changes or improvements.)
c. That one or two agency medical technicians be sent to
a short training course (one to three months) to learn the everyday
use and service of equipment. With this training, they could in
turn train all other necessary personnel on the mechanical use of
radiation measurement equipment. This could be done in five to
ten hours of direct instruction.
