Today the Special Subcommittee on Radiation of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy begins hearings on the basis and use of radiation protection criteria and standards. The subject of radiation has been a continuing concern of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy since the committee was established in 1946. For more than a decade, members of this committee have participated in and vigorously supported the expansion of nuclear technology and the orderly application of this technology to peaceful as well as military uses. We have endeavored to insure that the full benefits of our nuclear resources will be enjoyed by the American people. At the same time, we have made every effort to understand and provide safeguards against the hazards posed by the increased development and use of these resources. The work of the Special Radiation Subcommittee has been concerned mainly with the problems arising from the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to some extent from the radiation hazards associated with military uses of nuclear energy. Related subjects of investigation and study by the Joint Committee in the past include the fallout hearings of 1957 and 1959 and the 1959 hearings on waste disposal, Federal-State relationships, and workmen's compensation. One of the subjects often mentioned but never fully explored in the course of these past studies and investigations is that of "Radiation Protection Criteria and Standards." The hearings beginning today are intended to cover this subject as thoroughly as possible, with particular emphasis on the basis and use of criteria and standards in radiation protection.
