"The American Civil War Battle of Fort Pillow on the Mississippi River in Henning Tennessee also known as the Fort Pillow massacre was fought on April 12 1864. The battle ended with Confederate soldiers commanded by Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest massacring U.S. Army soldiers many of them African Americans attempting to surrender. Military historian David J. Eicher concluded: "Fort Pillow marked one of the bleakest saddest events of American military history. The Joint Committee On the Conduct of the War immediately investigated the incident which was widely publicized in the U.S. press. These testimonies of Wade and Gooch focused on the conduct of the war taken primarily from Mound City Illinois Hospital with the witnesses being survivors.".

References. Cover has some wear and soiling. A major focus of this hearing was on radiation exposure and hazards. Among the witnesses were: Roger Egeberg Joseph Hennessey Clarence Larson James Ramey representatives of the Federal Radiation Council and John Totter then Director of the Biomedical Division of the Atomic Energy Commission. Radiation protection also known as radiological protection is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA as "The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation and the means for achieving this". Exposure can be from a source of radiation external to the human body or due to internal irradiation caused by the ingestion of radioactive contamination. Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine and can present a significant health hazard by causing microscopic damage to living tissue. There are two main categories of ionizing radiation health effects. At high exposures it can cause "tissue" effects also called "deterministic" effects due the certainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit gray and resulting in acute radiation syndrome. For low level exposures there can be statistically elevated risks of radiation-induced cancer called "stochastic effects" due to the uncertainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit sievert. Fundamental to radiation protection is the avoidance or reduction of dose using the simple protective measures of time distance and shielding. The duration of exposure should be limited to that necessary the distance from the source of radiation should be maximized and the source shielded wherever possible. To measure personal dose uptake in occupational or emergency exposure for external radiation personal dosimeters are used and for internal dose to due to ingestion of radioactive contamination bioassay techniques are applied. For radiation protection and dosimetry assessment the International Commission on Radiation Protection ICRP and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements ICRU publish recommendations and data which is used to calculate the biological effects on the human body of certain levels of radiation and thereby advise acceptable dose uptake limits.

197891224Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1978. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 267 1 pages. Illustrations. Tabular Data. Minor wear and soiling to the front page. This volume includes statements from James Abouresk Maryon Allen Oliver Boileau Garry DeLoss John Deutch Ronnie Flippo Peter Glaser Floyd Haskell Ira Hedrick and John Sparkman. Senator Abouresk opened the hearing by stating "I have long been a supporter of solar energy and have sponsored a great deal of legislation to encourage its use. Nonetheless the harnessing of Sun for the solar power satellite seems to me to be singularly ill-advised an wasteful approach. The Government Accountability Office in its report EMD-78-61 Publicly Released: Apr 13 1978 stated that the Solar Power Satellite Research Development and Demonstration Program Act of 1978 would establish a program in the Department of Energy DOE to pursue research development and demonstration of solar power satellites SPS as a major source of energy. Enacting legislation for such a program at this time with the expectation of demonstrating such systems in the near future is premature. Technical environmental economic and institutional issues surrounding SPS systems have not been adequately investigated and supporting technologies such as the space shuttle and photovoltaic energy systems are years away from being useful in deploying SPS systems. Under existing legislation the DOE has initiated a SPS Concept Development and Evaluation Program to formulate a better understanding of the SPS concept. This program was begun in fiscal year 1977 and about $7.6 million has been obligated for carrying out the program through 1978. Program activities are expected to result in the formulation of program recommendations by June 1980 either to continue further study field testing and possibly space testing or to terminate the program. The scope of DOE's ongoing program appears sufficient to gain a better understanding of the issues surrounding SPS systems. After these studies are completed a better basis will exist for evaluating the pros and cons of a costly SPS development program. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback
