SAFETY, WASTE DISPOSAL, AND MONITORING 67 ing radiation levels and the dangerous levels — many thousands of times greater than the corresponding spread for other hazards. All radiation contributes to but is not the sole cause of mankind's genetic problems. The proportion due to atomic energy is very small. The conclusion is clear: we can enjoy the benefits of the nuclear age with safety to employees and the public." RADIATION PROTECTION IN NUCLEAR MEDICINE . .

Cleared for television. Despite the extensive precautions taken, accidents do happen with radioactive materials. Through its Radiological Assistance Program the AEC maintains a nationwide organization by which radiological emergency assistance is made available. The detailed re-enactment of the steps and measures taken to deal with these radiological emer- gencies shows the operations of R-A-P teams as they put to work their specialized professional skills and equipment. This documentary film is aimed at the level of the educated layman — employees of state and local government, AEC and state licensees, personnel in the transportation industry, the military services, Civil Defense workers, and others concerned with emergency action involving radioactive materials. The R-A-P team's effectiveness is shown to be dependent on the cooperation of other groups and individuals at different levels of government and business. To illustrate this, the film portrays three main incident stories: The first traces the hunt for a radioactive source lost from a small industrial plant. The trail via aircraft and police cars takes the R-A-P team to a municipal dump. The second case is the problem of leaking radioactive vapor from a sealed system in a research laboratory. The third is the story of a fire in a uranium products plant that gives an R-A-P team the additional public informa- tion job of coping with a community which mistakenly assumes it is threatened with a disaster.
