At this symposium, about 70 leading experts attended, representing 20 countries, and 34 papers related to the most recent findings were presented. All aspects of the response to radiation exposure of both peripheral and central nervous systems were discussed. Particular emphasis was given to the reaction of the central nervous systems, as knowledge of its reactions to irradiation was believed to provide additional criteria for the establishment of safety codes for nuclear operations. There was belief that the effects of ionizing radiation on the nervous system ranked among the foremost subjects of interest to those working in the nuclear field. Most papers are in English, but there are papers in French and Russian.…
