Murray NORTH CAROLINA STATE COLLEGE Office of the Chancellor January 7, 1954 Deans Directors of Research Department Heads Gentlemen:

The completion of the North Carolina State College Reactor has enlarged both the opportunities and the responsibilities of the College in the fields of teaching and research. For this reason, the duties and functions of the College Radio- isotope Committee have been increased, and the committee has been renamed the College Committee on Safety and Health for the Nuclear Reactor and Radloisotopes.

The membership of the committee is as follows; Dr. C. G. Brennecke, Chairman Dr. C. K. Beck Dr. N. S. Hall Dean J. H. Lampe, ex officio Dr. A. C. Menius Dr. R. L. Murray Dr. W. J. Peterson Dr. F. P. Pike Prof. Charles Smallwood, Jr., Secretary

This committee has the responsibility of protecting the health and guarding the safety of all personnel using radio- active materials and other sources of hard radiation. An additional objective set for the committee is to further the expansion and development of research utilizing these materials.

All proposed experimental projects using radioactive mater- ials must be approved by, and will be under the surveillance of the Safety and Health Committee. Presently existing projects of this sort, as well as any other activities involving the problem of personnel protection against radiation hazards, are similarly under the committee's surveillance, and the committee has been requested to compile and maintain a complete catalog of all radioactive materials and other sources of hard radiation on this campus. Periodic checks will be made by the committee or by the Radiological Safety Officer of the committee to insure that adequate safeguards to the health and safety of personnel and the public have been provided.

A Radiological Safety Officer, appointed by the Adminis- tration, will function as the executive arm of the committee. Mr. David O. Lintz, whose office is Room 227 Daniels Hall, has been appointed to this position.

As a first step in establishing procedures by means of which Mr. Lintz may carry out his duties, the committee has prepared a "Statement of Responsibilities, Procedures, and Regulations Governing the use of Radioactivity on the Campus." A copy of this statement is enclosed herewith, and additional copies may be obtained from Mrs. Mildred Lenich, Room 320 Dan- iels Hall (ext. 236).

The Safety and Health Committee has a difficult assignment, and only the complete cooperation of all members of the College staff will make it possible for them to accomplish their task. Please bring this matter to the attention of all members of your staff.

Sincerely, Carey H. Bostian Carey H. Bostian Chancellor
