This publication presents the culmination of collaborative effort
between specialists in the wide range of disciplines concerned with
the effects of ionizing radiations on nucleic acids. The authors
belong to a group formed under the aegis of the Com mission of the
European Communities some eight years ago with the object of
facilitating the exchange of ideas and inforrration between
European scientists working in this field. The Commission'S aim was
not to replace traditional information channels, but to strengthen
the various links between the scien tists in the group, as if they
were working together in a single team. In addition to the annual
meetings of the group, contact was maintained by individual visits,
exchanges of young scientists, experiments using mutual equipment,
and the regular publication of a Newsletter, mainly to announce the
availability of preprints. Bruxelles, December 1977 A. J.
Bertinchamps Commission of the European Communities. Preface
Mankind today is faced with a choice of cardinal importance,
namely, deciding on the source and quantity of energy to be made
available for tomorrow's world. If, as is probable, the energy is
to be mainly of nuclear origin, we must expect a marked ex pansion
of the nuclear industry, which could well become the world's
leading industry in the not-too-distant future. This would carry
with it the problems caused by the presence of enor mous quantities
of radioactivity, despite the stringent precau tions taken to date
and those to be taken in future."
