Excerpt from X-Ray Measurements and Protection, 1913-1964: The Role of the National Bureau of Standards and the National Radiological Organizations
This book is an account of how Government and non-government organizations have worked together. It is a fairly good example of the patterns that apply to problem areas other than ionizing radiation, except that today there seems to be less mutual trust between the two; and, by the public, less trust in either. Attention will be directed to some of the changes and differences between Government laboratory operations under which the current generation chafes and those under which my generation thought they were chafing. Indeed the present generation of laboratory workers will note an almost unbelievable contrast between the research operations during the simple life of a half century ago and the more complicated ways of today.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the key role the National Bureau of Standards and the National Radiological Organizations played in the development of X-ray measurement and protection standards in the US from 1913 to 1964. The author explores the history of this field, which began in earnest in 1927, leading to the establishment of a firm measurement base. The book delves into the complex relationship between government and non-government organizations in shaping these standards and the challenges encountered along the way. It highlights the establishment of the first U.S. radiation programs and the development of x-ray generating equipment, quality measurements, and the certification of x-ray physicists. The author also examines the impact of these efforts on protecting radiologists and radiation workers from the harmful effects of excessive radiation exposure. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of radiation protection, the role of government and non-government organizations in shaping scientific standards, and the ongoing efforts to balance the benefits of radiation with the need to protect human health.
