Senior Staff Member Presents Invited Talk to CIRMS (October 1998)

Dr. Keith Eckerman, leader of the Dosimetry Research Group in the Assessment Technology Section of the ORNL Life Sciences Division, was invited to present a talk on "The Contributions of Oak Ridge National Laboratory to Radiation Dosimetry and Standards" by the Council on Ionizing Radiation Measurements and Standards (CIRMS). This talk, which was presented on October 20, 1998, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, reviewed the history of radiation research at ORNL and described specific contributions related to the development of radiation measurement and assessment methods and radiation protection standards. For more than twenty years, Dr. Eckerman has been actively involved in biokinetic and dosimetric modeling aimed at internal dosimetry applications, has been instrumental in the development of international radiation protection standards, and has served on a number of committees of the International Commission on Radiation Protection and Measurements (ICRP).
