Consensus Committees

One of the major goals of the conference is the creation of consensus documents to serve as standard references on the relative strengths of biodosimetry techniques over a wide variety of timescales and scenarios.  Two consensus committees are being formed to create detailed review papers on techniques in biodosimetry.  These review papers will be presented at the conference, and roundtable discussions will provide a forum for fine-tuning the papers.  Currently, the committees consists of the following

 

Rapporteur: Thomas Tenforde, Ph.D., National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (Bethesda, Maryland, USA)
