From the Editor

Linnea Wahl
With this issue of the Accelerator Radiation Safety Newsletter, we introduce you to the new officers of the section. Although many have been active contributors to the newsletter in the past, they will be even more in the news from now on.

You'll also notice a new feature, based on a great suggestion made at the Health Physics Society annual meeting in Cleveland this past month. For those of you who were unable to attend the meeting, we'll try to reprint the abstracts from papers presented at the Accelerator Session. If I can locate slides from the presentation, I'll provide a link to those as well. We begin this month with the abstract submitted by Dr. Takahashi Nakamura, president of the Japan Health Physics Society and G. William Morgan lecturer at the annual meeting.

I hope you enjoy this issue of the newsletter. Thanks to all who contributed. I hope they will inspire others to consider submitting an article for the next issue. Have a happy summer!
