The fundamental understanding of the production of biological
effects by ionizing radiation may well be one of the most important
scientific objectives of mankind; such understanding could lead to
the effective and safe utilization of the nuclear energy option. In
addition, this knowledge will be of immense value in such diverse
fields as radiation therapy and diagnosis and in the space program.
To achieve the above stated objective, the U. S. Department of
Energy (DOE) and its predecessors embarked upon a fundamental
interdisciplinary research program some 35 years ago. A critical
component of this program is the Radiological and Chemical Physics
Program (RCPP). When the RCPP was established, there was very
little basic knowledge in the fields of physics, chemistry, and
biology that could be directly applied to understanding the effects
of radiation on biological systems. Progress of the RCPP program in
its first 15 years was documented in the proceedings of a
conference held at Airlie, Virginia, in 1972. At this conference,
it was clear that considerable progr:ess had been made in research
on the physical and chemical processes in well-characterized
systems that could be used to understand biological effects. During
this period of time, most physical knowledge was obtained for the
gas phase because the technology and instru mentation had not
progressed to the point that measurements could be made in liquids
more characteristic of biological materials.
