... ATTACHMENT 2 particles.1 Critical to planning for extended human sojourns in deep space is ATTACHMENT 3 quantitative knowledge about the dose rates and types of radiation that will be encountered and the related biological effects. The SSB and CSBM are concerned about the closing of the BEVALAC given that there is no alternative facility at which to continue the radiobiological research conducted as part of this country's goal of expanding the human presence in space.

... in Space Radiation Health at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and contribute to the loss of expertise in basic radiobiological research -- an outcome that would be contrary to the conclusion reached in NASA's Space Radiation Health Program Plan.2 There is an acute need for additional well-trained and well qualified researchers in space radiation physics and biology. A continuous supply of trained space researchers needs to be developed and adequate numbers of trained personnel need to be available to enable program expansion.
