mainly in two broad areas, namely inhalation toxicology and dose-
response relationships for long-term biological effects produced by
internally deposited radionuclides. He has been particularly
interested in the conduct of animal experimentation to develop
infonnation that may be used to predict the consequences of
accidental exposure to humans and to establish standards that
ensure the safe and orderly conduct of activities that may result in
release of toxic agents to the environment. His personal research
efforts have been associated primarily with the toxicology of
airborne matenal associated with different activities in the nuclear
filet cycle. This research has spanned broadly from studies of
aerosol characteristics as they may influence patterns of
deposition, retention, and dosimetry through risk assessments for
different nuclear energy systems. Dr. Boecker is also a Certified
Health Physicist and has received a Distinguished Scientific
Achievement Award from the Health Physics Society.
ANDRE' BOUVILLE, Ph.D., is a Senior Radiation Physicist in the
Radiation Effects Branch of the National Cancer Institute. He
earned the French equivalent of a Ph.D. at the University of Paul-
Sabatier in Toulouse. Dr. Bouville's field of interest is radiation
dosimetry and the environmental transfer of radionuclides. He has
worked for the French Atomic Energy in several capacities
including having been Assistant to the Director of Protection. Dr.
Bouville was also Scientific Secretary for the United Nations
Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation. Dr.
Bouville is the member of several committees (including
