Savannah River Site Health Effects Subcommittee (SRSHES) Meeting

 

Final Meeting Minutes
January 10, 2002

Status Report by the Community Summary Workgroup.
Dr. Sergio Bustos, the Workgroup Chair, conveyed that the members were charged with simplifying the SRS Phase II Summary. He pointed out that the meeting packets contained both the RAC and workgroup summaries for comparative purposes. The workgroup decreased RAC’s full two-page summary of 935 words to less than 1.5 pages with 629 words. The meaning of the document was not changed, but deletions, clarifying words, simpler terms, and sentence combinations were included to make the summary more userfriendly and understandable to communities. Nevertheless, the workgroup is still open to suggestions from SRSHES to further simplify the document.

Mr. Renard urged SRSHES to thoroughly review the draft summary because consensus must be reached on the final version that will be distributed to communities. He explained that nominees are welcome to provide comments, but only SRSHES members can vote on the document. Dr. Lee noted that NCEH conducted a similar activity by issuing a one-page community summary when the Phase II report was released. To avoid duplicating existing efforts, she suggested that the workgroup review this document on the CDC web site.
