| Abstract: | This report outlines the AEC program in all phases of medicine and biology, reviews research results and projects under way, reports what is known of the effects of radiation on man and other living things, and surveys the benefits which may be derived from the use of radiation to diagnose and treat disease and to study plants and animals. The sections of this report on programs other than those in biology and medicine are intended to give a general view of the highlights of the past six months in the atomic energy program. |
