Address to Beijing International Radiation Symposium

On behalf of the Radiation Commission of IAMAP, I would like to address my best wishes for the success of this Beijing International Radiation Symposium (BIRS). I am very grateful to our Chinese colleagues, who organized this Symposium and made such a wonderful preparatory work. I wish also to extend my thanks to the American colleagues who worked with the Chinese scientists from the origin of this International Radiation Symposium, which is the first to be held in China. It is a great pleasure and a great honor for the International Radiation Commission (IRC) to cosponsor the BIRS.
