RERF Staff

An important National Academies project within the Division on Earth and Life Studies is assigned to the Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board. That study was started 60 years ago as the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) when President Truman directed the National Academy of Sciences to develop a study of the health effects in the A-bomb survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In 1975, ABCC became the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF). While numerous National Academies employees have served as scientists and support staff at ABCC and RERF over the years, contact information for our current employees who work at RERF in Hiroshima, Japan, includes:
