Nation-building exacts direct and immediate high inputs, the outputs of which are normally attained on an extended time frame. With an effective planning mechanism, however, the task of development may be accelerated very significantly. The current administ- ration has set the mood and tone for an accelerated pace thru systemic planning and implementation participated in by all levels and instrumentalities of the govern- mental machinery. The Philippine Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) has positively responded and contributed to this national effort by undertaking programs and activities within the established priorities of the country's primary socio-economic blueprint at the same time assuming technical leadership in scientific research and development warranted by its specialized resources and capabilities.
By virtue of Presidential Decree No. 606 and R.A. No. 2067 as amended by R.A. No. 3589, PAEC is the sole authority for the promotion and regulation of all nuclear activities in the country. As such, it initiates I and advocates the utilization of atomic energy in specific areas of research and/or development by both public and I private sectors, particularly in the use of nuclear I 1 I *-»-
techniques in medicine, agriculture and industry.
For PAEC, the year under review witnessed the intensified and strengthened forging of partnerships and linkages both at the individual and institutional levels in both local and international settings. For example, thru its Grants-in-Aid ;Brogram, the Commission extended various forms of assistance (e.g. financial aid, expertise or consultancy services, and equipment) to government and private entities pursuing nuclear- oriented researches. Linkages with higher and allied institutions were effected both at the planning and operational levels thru participation in inter-agency task forces/committees as well as through joint projects. At the policy and planning level, the Commission was actively involved in the International Conference on the Survival of Humankind: The Philippine Experiment; Batasang Bayan Committee on Energy; and the NEDA Committees on Power and Energy. Likewise, the Commission was represented in the Inter-Agency Committee on Environ- mental Protection and took the lead in the Inter-Agency Committee to study a proposal for a Regional Fuel Cycle Center. At the operational level cooperative agreements have been forged with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), National Grains Authority (NGA) and the I National Science Development Board (NSDB) on environment I research. In cooperation with the Energy Development 1 - ii - I Board and the Bureau of Mines, a nationwide uranium exploration program has likewise been pursued.
A fitting climax to the forging of partnerships was the year-end holding of the First Philippine Nuclear Congress. Thru this machinery, PAEC was able to conduct extended discussions and dialogues at the policy, execu- tive and operating levels with its present collaborators and those with whom it hopes to set up future linkages. Sectoral workshop sessions were conducted in Energy, Environment and Public Health, Nuclear Education, Industry, Nuclear Medicine and Food Supply with the active partici- pation of some 200 of the country's leading scientists, technologists, policy-makers, technocrats, administrators, medical specialists and educators from relevant public and private sectors.
On the international scene, PAEC reiterated its full commitment to the goals and objectives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) thru participation in its 20th Regular Session of the General Conference with the PAEC Commissioner leading the Philippine delegation. Agreements of cooperation on the peaceful uses of atomic energy were likewise pursued thru bilateral and trilateral commititients, notably with France and India. International cooperation and coordination have been further strengthened with the hosting of international and regional training courses and meetings in Metro Manila.
I - iii - The Commission has played a major role and has provided substantial support to the country's nuclear power program. By virtue of its statutory responsibility over the activities of nuclear facilities including nuclear power plants, the Commission granted on 20 December 1976 to the National Power Corporation (NPC) utility owner of the Philippine Nuclear Power Plant-1 (PNPP-1) a provi- sional permit to start construction after studies and investigations were made on the preliminary site investi- gation report and the preliminary safety analysis report. The PAEC has also established proper and applicable Regulatory Guides, Codes, Standards and Criteria for safety in all phases of the establishment and maintenance of nuclear power plants. The training of prospective nuclear workers for the power plant was likewise a vital concern of the Commission and to this end it has prepared a 5-year manpower training program for NPC. Related and equally essential to the nuclear power program is the search for local sources to meet nuclear fuel needs. Hence, the launching of the nationwide uranium exploration program. As part of the environmental protection aspect of the program, studies are being undertaken on the behavior in the ecosystem of tritium, a radioisotope that may be released during the operation of nuclear plants. Social considerations, considered an important offshoot of technical operations was recognized as a vital area of
- IV - concern in the nuclear power plant undertaking. Thus, extensive and intensive efforts were directed towards correcting misconceptions and minimizing public indifference to and distrust of the risks involved in nuclear power plants through an extensive public acceptance program.
Food supply has remained a critical concern in the country and for this reason, the Commission has continuously pursued projects aimed at increased production and reduced food losses. For the past year, PAL'C has developed, four varieties confirmed as possessing potential for better crops of rice, soybean and mungbean. In addition, it has obtained some promising results in its investigations for improving other varieties of rice, soybean, inungbean, batao and some regionally important crops such as camote, I cassava, gabi, pineapple, ubi, tugui and ginger. In the field of medicine, public health and nutrition, i a PAEC research team received the Abbott Research Award (2nd prize) for their "Study of the Relation of Trace Element to Cardiovascular Disease" Medical research in I the Commission has primarily been focused on the study of the role of trace elements in the etiology of diseases.
I The frenzy and urgency of modernization and develop- I mental goals tend to result in abuses in a country's I ecology which points to the necessity of all sectors of I - v - society joining in environmental conservation work. Towards this goal, PAEC has contributed its research work on pesticide residues in cereals, fruits and vegetables and in human abdominal fats as well as analyses of toxic heavy metal pollution in marine areas. As part of the Commission's responsibility of protecting and safeguarding the populace from undue radiation exposure, establishment of the baseline radionuclide content of air, soil, water, various bio-media including grass and milk and of common food items have been started. Radwaste management work is currently directed towards the development of bituminous mixtures as a suitable medium for storing radioactive materials in an insoluble form.
Support to the nation's policy of self-reliance is well manifested by the Commission's project in uranium exploration. For the year under report, the Commission successfully produced the first laboratory scale uranium yellow cake from Philippine uranium ores. I A pilot alcohol plant is likewise nearing completion. I The Commission's expertise in the engineering sciences was further demonstrated by its continued assistance I to industry in the forms of time and cost-saving nuclear techniques for various industrial operations 1 as well as nuclear analytical services. 1 i - vi - I While national development dictates that scientific researches be application-oriented still basic objective research must be pursued to complement applied research. Hence, work in computer science, solid state physics and chemistry have progressed in the Commission for the past year.
As part of the Commission's licensing and regulatory function, the Commission granted r.aw licenses and permits as well as renewals to more than 200 institutions and establishments making use of nuclear energy. Release certificates were likewise issued to importers of radio- active materials and facilities. In the field of man- power development, the past year witnessed the intensi- fication of efforts towards providing a ready pool of trained manpower to carry out and support the various projects in the country's atomic energy program. There were both local and foreign training programs carried out as well as a supplementary program aimed at upgrading the science education in secondary schools and colleges.
A complement and support to all these nuclear endeavors was the promotion and information strategy for public understanding and popular acceptance of atomic energy accomplished thru seminars for mass media, outreach program, as well as technical and popular publications•
- vii - Thus, thru its holistic approach in carrying out its goals and objectives, PAEC experienced the passing of a meaningful, more dynamic and involved year. The future direction of its activities has been well-planned through a primary instrument, the National Atomic Energy Plan (1977-2000).
However, the execution of this Plan will depend a lot on the availability of highly trained and specialized manpower in nuclear technology. This has become an area of major concern for the Commission considering the fast turnover of its key technical personnel. In 1976 alone, the PAEC lost 17 of its scientific and technical staff, two of whom were Ph.D. degree holders, four with masteral degrees, and eleven with bachelor's degrees and special training in atomic energy.
At present, the Commission is the main source of nuclear-trained personnel. The relatively higher salarv scales obtaining in government corporations and even the universities make it easy for them to attract and recruit the highly trained personnel of the PAEC. Hence, the continued depletion of the scientific personnel complement of the PAEC. To stave this and to optimize the utiliza- tion of technical expertise available in the country, a program of cooperation among the government agencies involved in the nuclear power program is recommended as a better alternative. Transfer of personnel from one
- viii - I I involved agency to another should be discouraged. Arrangements for cooperation on the joint undertaking of projects should, on the other hand, be encouraged and facilitated.
Existing realities such as these are part of the pressures serving ascconstraints in the implementation of the atomic energy plans. To insure that the Commis- sion can continue to respond positively to new develop- mental goals, technological advances, and shifting R & D priorities, as well as maximize scarce resources, it is desirable that some policy changes be instituted to provide the necessary program support.
1 - ix - I I I I I I I I I THE NATIONAL ATONIC ENERGY PLAN I I I I I I I I - i - THE NATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY PLAN (1977-2000)
The decade of the seventies has witnessed aggregative developmental planning urgently pursued by responsible governments most especially in developing countries. Under the responsible direction of the National Economic Develop- ment Authority whose Board is chairmanned by no less than the President himself, the country has likewise been deeply involved in planning work. Various government instrumen- talities were instructed to contribute to the National Perspectives thru the formulation of their respective medium- term and long-range strategies and programs for the period 1977-2000. Previous to this, the Commission had its own Pive-Year R & D Program in Atomic Energy (FY 1973-FY 1977), a document which was continuously evaluated and updated until rapid technological changes, shifting R & D priorities and new national developmental goals necessitated the drawing up of the National Atomic Energy Plan.
The National Atomic Energy Plan (1977-2000) as prepared by the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission involves a total approach considering not only the activities of the Commis- sion but also of other agencies utilizing nuclear techniques either in cooperative projects with the PAEC or as recipients of PAEC Grants-in-Aid. The Plan includes statement of PAEC's basic policies, major programs and sub-programs and primary strategies to carry out PAEC's dual responsibility of
- 2 - promoting the utilization of peaceful atomic energy appli- cations and ensuring public safety in the use of nuclear radiations and the management of radioactive waste products.
Specifically, the major programs covered in the Plan are as follows:
I. Nuclear Research and Development Sub-Program A. Food & Agriculture B. Energy & Water Resources C. Industry & Engineering ! l D. Public Health & Nutrition E. Improvement of the Human Environment F. Basic Objective Research
II. Nuclear Safeguards Sub-Program A. Radiological Surveillance of the Environment B. Nuclear Regulations and Safety III. Supportive Technology Sub-Program A. Nuclear Education B. Technical Extension Services C. Nuclear Promotion D. Nuclear Program Management
The Plan set up each program/sub-program the objectives, both general and specific, the strategies, the major projects
- 3 - I involved both medium-term and long-range, as well as the research and development phases for said projects. Sub- program scenarios give in detail the rationale behind each project, what has been accomplished so far in this area of research and development, and the projected activities to accomplish the project objectives and goals.
The primary strategies adopted by the Plan are as follows: To initiate and undertake research and development using radiation, radio- isotopes and nuclear techniques in all
program areas.
To supply the radioisotope and other radiation requirements for medicine, industry, education and research.
To train or cause the training of the requisite technical manpower for present and projected nuclear activities.
To conduct continuing analysis of growth trends and forecasts in energy and other national requirements to determine the timing and areas where nuclear science will be most beneficial.
To move for the establishment of the necessary laboratories, pilot plants
- 4 - and other infrastructure necessary to support PAEC's major programs.
6. To conduct extensive information out- reach programs and establish linkages for information transfer.
7. To encourage,and provide technical assistance in the local manufacture of nuclear instruments.
8. To maintain a continuing assessment of nuclear research and development plans and programs, their execution and evaluation.
9. To conduct periodic review and suggest revision of existing laws and/or decrees to enable the government to discharge more effectively its functions and responsibilities in nuclear matters.
10. To establish baseline radioactivity levels in the country in pursuance of the overall goal of environmental protection.
The Atomic Energy Plan also defines the role that atomic energy will be playing in the pursuit of the national development objectives and priorities established
- 5 - by the National Economic and Development Authority and identifies the sectors of the economy where atomic energy utilization as well as nuclear techniques applications would have immediate and long-range impacts. The objectives set take into consideration limited capabilities and available financial resources as well as recognizes the need for continuing and increasing efforts for scientific research and development manpower training, nuclear and environmental safety surveillance, and public information campaign. Additional infrastructure is also necessary to support all these efforts.
The financial requirements of the Plan up to the year I 2000 are summarized below:
I FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS (In Thousand Pesos) 1 Cumulative 1978 to 1981 to 1987 to 1991 to Teal I 1977 1980 1986 1990 2000 1977-2000 PAEC Funded I Activities 17,100 60,700 141,400 215,150 910,250 1,344,600 I Infrastructure 1,200 22,800 40,200 25,000 60,000 149,200 External I Assistance 4,600 20,700 46,400 75,600 324.000 471,300 I TOTAL 22.900 104,200 228,000 315,750 1,294.250 1,965,100 I
1 - 6 - The PAEC funded activities account for about 70% of the total requirement, and from which about 40% is devoted to research and development. This also includes the financial assistance given to research institutions in I the form of grants-in-aid. About 24 percent is expected to be received from I external fund sources, such as the Energy Development I Board, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) I for special research and development projects.

- 7 - I THE FIRST PHILIPPINE NUCLEAR C0N6RESS
II II I I I I I I THE FIRST PHILIPPINE NUCLEAR CONGRESS
The Philippine Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) climaxed its activities for the year 1976 with the First Philippine Nuclear Congress held 7-9 December. Cognizant of the limitations of its resources but also aware of the 1 possibilities of cooperative arrangements with other I institutions which have always been very receptive to joint efforts in nuclear R & D, the PAEC set up this I machinery for more extended discussions and dialogues at the policy, executive and operating levels with its I present collaborators and those with whom it hopes to set I up future linkages. The Congress aimed to identify areas of partnerships I between the cooperating agencies and other private groups, the role and scope of responsibility of each and the strategies to be adopted to effect the partnerships. I Sectoral workshop sessions were conducted in Energy, Envi- ronment and Public Health, Nuclear Education, Industry, 1 Nuclear Medicine and Food Supply. The Congress was charac- I terized by an openness in the discussions especially with the private sector which brought to light existing cons- I traints towards partnerships between government research agencies and private institutions.
I The diverse interest which nuclear science has so I far generated in the country was made manifest by the
I - 9 - I active participation'of a composite sector of Philippine society to the Philippine Nuclear Congress. The Congress pooled together the expertise of some 200 of the country's leading, scientists, technologists, policy-makers, techno- crats, administrators, medical specialists and educators from relevant public and private sectors. The private sector was widely represented by top and middle management men from manufacturing and industrial firms, mining and oil companies, chemical and drug companies and construction companies. Leading universities and colleges also sent a number of representatives. Likewise, medical practitioners actively engaged in nuclear medicine signified great inte- rest through their participation in the Congress. In addition, government agencies directly or remotely involved and/or interested in nuclear energy sent several of their policy-makers, administrators and researchers to contribute their expertise either as speakers or participants. Among the significant results of the Congress were: Industry Sector 1. Awareness and understanding by the private sector of the capabilities of government research institutions, particularly of the PAEC, for nuclear industrial applications. Nuclear techniques can be a potent instru- ment for improved efficiency, increased productivity, better production quality
- 10 - I and reduced environmental pollution.
2. Recognition of need and identification of areas of expanded technical assistance towards industrial growth through the early transfer of nuclear technology to the industrial sector using the following strategies:
- Technical consultancy service to be rendered by FAEC to industry.
PAEC-Industry partnerships to emphasize developmental goals rather than regulatory control measures.
- Joint PAEC-Industry assessment of manpower training require- ments to be undertaken by PAEC II for Industry on industrial II applications of nuclear techniques. Industry considers nuclear tech- niques as novel, unconventional and highly sophisticated. The government through PAEC should take a lead role in demonstrating the advantages of nuclear techniques
I - 11 - I and provide incentive policies for industry availing of these techniques for their operations.
Environment and Public Health
1. Agreements to strengthen interagency linkages and partnerships between the public and private sectors and the integration of national environ- mental programs especially in the use of nuclear techniques for: - studies on dispersal capacity of the biosphere Ii - pollution control technology siltation of rivers and contiguous bodies, epidemiological effect on health of industrial, agricultural and radiation pollution
ecological study of coastal and other areas to determine impact of pollution on productivity.
2. Closer coordination between radiation hazards control organizations particularly the PAEC, I the Radiation Health Office of the Department I of Health, the World Health Organization and I the International Atomic Energy Agency.
- 12 - I 3. Improvement of transfer mechanisms for radiation safety information to the public. There is a need for better communication among development planners, policy-makers, administrators, envi- ronmental scientists, professionals. and various sectors of society and the general public.
4. Coordinated effort among agencies concerned with the proper management of radioactive waste and other environmental pollutants and contaminants.
I Energy Sector 1 1. Interest of private mining firms on involvement in the Uranium Exploration, Processing .and I Recovery Program now jointly executed by the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), Energy Development Board (EDB) and Bureau of I Mines. A major recommendation made in this regard is for the institution of government 1 incentives for private entities who discover 1 economic radioactive mineral deposits through the gr¿¿nt of royalties or cash awards.
I 2. Close coordination and joint effort between PAEC and National Power Corporation (NPC) I towards the nuclear safety and public I acceptance of the nuclear power plant I PNPP-1. i - 13 - I 3. Realization of the need for close coordination between PAEC and NPC relative to the training program for manpower requirements of the country's nuclear power program and first nuclear power plant with PAEC handling all the local training activities it can handle within its resource capabilities. The academic programs in nuclear engineering should also be closely coordinated among PAEC, NPC and local colleges and universities, especially the University of the Philippines.
4. In view of the availability of expertise in the PAEC, it should continue to conduct research also on other nonconventional energy sources in the priority areas designated by the EDB.
Education
1. The session on nuclear education highlighted the need for more effective partnership among educational institutions, the PAEC and other science agencies to meet:
- the manpower development require- ments of the nuclear industry, and - the need to upgrade nuclear science education in educational science institutions.
- 14 - Areas identified for joint' coordinated effort among various institutions:
- Development of instructional materials on nuclear science for secondary level.
- Closer coordination between Philippine Atomic Energy Commission, National Science Development Board, Department of Education and Culture, University of the Philippines Science Education Center to optimize facilities and man- power in the conduct of regional training courses in nuclear science for science teachers in the high school and collegiate levels.
- Curriculum changes to include nuclear science subjects in natural science and engineering courses.
- Relaxation of policy restraints on foreign scholarships.
- 15 - - Increased technical assistance to be rendered by PAEC to educational institutions in the training of trainors, use of its laboratories, fabrication of nuclear equipment, etc.
- Joint project between PAEC, the EDPITÃF and the National Manpower Youth Council in the training of technicians for the nuclear industry.
I Food Sector 1. The Congress identified the following areas of I research for collaborated efforts: I Soils-Plant Nutrition Conversion of farm waste into I usable products. I - Appropriate use of fertilizer. - Micronutrient requirements of I important crops. I - Proper management of water supply. I Crop Improvement Breeding for disease and insect resistance in rice, soybean and I mungbean.

Food Supply Food supply being a constant and urgent problem asso- ciated with population growth, its solution continues to be one of PAEC's more important preoccupations. Tackled on two fronts: increased production and reduction of loss, the PAEC this year has contributed four confirmed potentials for better crop varieties of rice, soybean and mungbean, and has established the conditions for two ¡I promising techniques for extending crop storage time. In addition, it has obtained several promising results in its investigations for improving other varieties of rice, soybean and mungbean, batao and some crops impor- II tant as regional foods in the Philippines such as camote, cassava, gabi, pineapple, ubi, tugui and ginger. Some 1 work have been started on mushroom and yeast and on the nutritional requirements of corn.
For this year, 1976, four radiation mutant varieties have been established as stable and ready for seed multi- plication and subsequent further testing by experimental farmers. These are:
a. Tunqro resistant version of PARC-2 rice. It can be recalled that the original I PARC 2-2 (atomic rice) approved by the Philippine Seed Board in October, 1973 I
I - 21 - I I I for use of Filipino farmers already has some resistance to tungro. Further
multi-stage screening produced a PARC-2 variety that carries twice as much resistance to tungro as the original atomic rice. Seeds of this tungro- II resistant PARC-2 are ready for planting at the Maligaya Rice Research and Training Center (MRRTC) for further seed multi- plication.
b. Purification of the compact mutant from L114 soybean. The PAEC has finally succeeded in purifying a very desirable compact mutant from the BPI-developed L114 soybean variety. This mutant is about 30-40% shorter than the original L114 but yields about 40% more because it produces more pod-laden branches. Seeds are ready for planting at the MRRTC for seed multiplication.
c. PAEC multifoliata Munqbean. Seeds of this PAEC mungbean variety are now being increased at the UP at Los Baños and the I MRRTC. This mungbean has the following characteristics: (1) tolerance to leaf- I spot and powdery mildew (2) flowering I - 22 - I I I in about 48 days after sowing and best for planting in the last quarter of the year, (3) growing to a desirable height of about 60 cm., (4) pods that do not shatter easily and are easier to thresh. Except for low seedling vigor, this new PAEC mungbean variety can be better appreciated by farmers because it can compete better with weeds than the parent MG50-10A.
d. The stabilized Milagrosa rice variety. This variety has been approved by consensus in a meeting of the Philippine Rice Working Group. It has longer grains and better yield, while retaining its good aroma and flavor. PAEC work on this variety is completed. Seeds of this mutant are being multiplied at the MRRTC. Since the Milagrosa is a special variety it does not need the Seed Board approval.
On the experimental stage, PAEC scientists have found some success in using the single cell and the tissue culture methods of propagating camote and pineapple. This is very important for mutation
I - 23 - I breeding of crops not propagated by seeds such as camote, cassava and pineapple, since induction of mutation will be easier and faster if made on the single cell rather than on cuttings or crowns.
Also in the experimental stage is the PAEC mungbean series, which is a mixture of mungbean crossbred seeds consisting of several useful types with different improved properties. From these, the PAEC developed the series concept, the composition of whicb| will include mungbean of all levels of maturity from 32 to 54 days at first flower, available in different foliate versions, seed size and roughness. It is planned that the seeds evolved from these series will be sent to different agricultural colleges 1 in the country even before the series is completely stabi- lized. This arrangement will enable the agricultural i colleges to select that particular mutant that is desired in their region and suitable for planting in their locality. The agricultural colleges may then continue the purification and seed multiplication of their desired mutant» Farmers in the locality may then look up to the agricultural college i foi seed supply of the appropriate mungbean type. In the areas of plant pathology, a good method of I screening soybean seedlings for resistance to bacterial I leaf pustule appears imminent. The cotyledon-pricking method promises to be rapid and dependable. I Yearly losses in food crops through depredator infestation is a big factor in reducing not only our 1 - 24 - I Screening mungbean crops for powdery mildew.
Tissue culture method of propagating pineapples through single cells instead of through the usual crowns. food supply but also out: export earnings. Significant semi-bulk results achieved by the PAEC in the reduction of food losses are:
1. Irradiation at 50 or 75 krad and storage in poly- ethylene bags of 0.006 inch-thickness is effective in killing stored rice and corn pests and in preventing reinfestation. Although fumigation with chemicals also kills these pests, chemicals leave residues in the cereals which may be toxic to man. The use by PAEC of polyethylene bags has cost advantage over the commonly used polyprophylene bags. These tests were made in cooperation with the NGA.
2. At a dose rate of 30 krad/hour, a six-month extension of the shelf-life of onions was achieved by combined irradiation and cold storage. In this work done with the FTI, the" unirradiated onions started sprouting after only 2 months under identical storage conditions.
Other studies in food and agriculture in the experi- mental stage are the following:
1. Ecological studies on fruitflies. Studies conducted in the Yuson Farms of Central Luzon and in Gulmåras Island in Iloilo indicated a marked increase of fly
- 25 - 1 population in the Yuson Farms from 1975 to 1976. This is possibly due to increase in the number of hosts. Fly population in Guimaras Island remained the same. Mass rearing of fruitflies and testing for competitiveness continues.
2. An integrated approach to food irradiation studies which includes dosimetry, wholesomeness, micro- biological and chemical studies was started in 1976, partly funded by PAEC grants-in-aid, with the University of the Philippines System and the Food and Nutrition Research Institute as cooperators.
3. Work continues on chromosomal changes in irradiated rats in the search for a method of decreasing the population of these pests.
4. The study of parasites (Haemonchus contortus) in goats indicated that anemia caused by these para- sites was due primarily to the inability of the infected animals to re-utilize iron that is being lost because of the blood sucking activities of the parasite.
Enecqy and Water Resources
Two achievements highlight PAEC's contribution to the obvious urgency in the search for self-reliance in
I - 26 - I energy. These are: 1. It successfully produced the first laboratory scale
uranium yellow cake (80% U3OQ) from Philippine uranium ores and improved the beneficiation of Larap uranium resulting in the laboratory production of uranium concentrate assaying as high as 30& U^O». Some leaching parameters essential in optimizing chemical processing of this uranium concentrate were determined.
2. The PAEC delineated two uranium-provinces in Camarines Norte and Samar. It discovered the extension of known uranium-bearing deposits at Larap, Camarines Norte and made a radiometric survey of four districts: Camarines Norte, Samar, llocos Norte and Davao.
Supporting, corollary to and complementing these results, other activities were undertaken within the year. These involved coordination work with the Bureau of Mines for mining, drilling and milling operations in Larap and the design of the physical and equipment facilities for S-ton/day uranium pilot processing plant. A preliminary feasibility study on a proposed 500-TPD uranium mill in I Larap was also finished. A pilot alcohol plant initially built to process I molasses to alcohol but eventually programmed to use I - 27 - I irradiated yeast and other cellulose waste in lieu of molasses is nearing completion. A related project undertaken previously by the PAEC was a completed NSDB- Kupportod work which successfully converted some PAEC vehicles from gasoline-to alcohol-powered cars. In view of the accelerating cost of fuel oil, PAEC efforts are fo jsed on the production of alcohol cheap enough to be competitive with imported fuel, and with a lower environmental burden.
Engineering and Industry
Assistance to industry in terms of time and cost- saving nuclear techniques and nuclear analytical services wore implemented this year with the following results:
a. A mixing-homogeneity problem of a feed mill was solved by PAEC scientists and technologists with the use of PAEC- produced radioisotopes. Three other companies of varied product-manufacture are being assisted in their processing pioblems.
b. Fourteen industrial companies among them: Planter's Products, Inc., South Pacific Export Corp., Ramear Inc., A.Soriano Corp., Philippine Refining Company,
- 28 - I Vitarich Corporation, Dole Philippines, San Miguel Corporation, Nutritional Products Inc., and International Chemical Industries have been served by way of product and/or raw material analyses using techniques developed by PAEC scientists and technologists and sophisticated nuclear-based equipment.
Design and development of integrated circuit sealers, timers and power supply were completed. Rejuvenation of busted Geiger Muller tubes used in radiation detection was successfully finished.
A burglar-proof storage for the Physical Security System of PAEC's special nuclear materials was completed together with a design for an Alarm and Communication System for these nuclear materials' safety.
Geological survey for copper, gold, nickel and related minerals were made in Camarines Norte, Samar, llocos Norte, Benguet and Mindoro.
- 29 - Medicine, Public Health & Nutrition
Medical research in PAEC was concentrated on the study of the role of trace elements in the etiology of diseases* Public health problems, on the other hand, are being tackled on these aspects: a. Radiation protection and waste management. b. Availability of radiopharmaceuticals for use in medical diagnosis and therapy. :. Bulk sterilization of medical supplies through irradiation.
PAEC work on nutrition problems started this year with an integrated project on nutritional anemias with the Food and Nutrition Research Institute as cooperator.
Significant developments in medical research are two findings on the role of trace elements in cardiovascular diseases and in cancer of the liver.
1. Study of the Relation of Trace Element to Cardio- vascular Disease. From the data accumulated over the past years, results indicate that the mean concentration of zinc and copper in the heart and liver of patients who died of myocardial infraction were lower than the values obtained from patients who met accidental death (normal Filipinos). An interesting development has been the finding I that the selenium content in the heart muscles I - 30 - I of Filipinos examined were much higher than those of other countries (Israel, United States, Greece and Czechoslovakia). Death rates from coronary heart disease in the Philippines are lower compared to those of the countries mentioned, thus corrobo- rating the reported beneficial role of this element against cardiovascular disease. The work of PAEC on the role of zinc and copper in the etiology of -r cardiovascular diseases won the Abbott Research Award (2nd prize) for 1976.
2. Cadmium Concentration in Hepatoma Among Filipinos. J Results on samples analyzed so far indicate decreased levels of cadmium (2.14 - 3.97 ug Cd/gm liver), although direct association with the etiology of the disease is not indicated. Rather, cadmium appears to be affected by the relative concentrations of other trace metals such as zinc and copper.
A secondary standards laboratory will be completed in 1977 with the assistance of the International Atomic Energy Agency. This laboratory will be provided with the necessary equipment for the calibration of instru- ments in order to ensure correct dose measurements.
Correct dose measurements are essential not only for radiation therapy and diagnosis but also for the protection of health of researchers and industrial workers using radioisotopes and x-ray sources. - -31* - I Public health was the prime motivation in the PAEC efforts to increase the supply of radiopharmaceuticals for use in diagnosis and therapy of diseases, cancer in particular. To this end, three accomplishments may be mentioned:
a. Doubling of 1-131 PAEC production capacity. This isotope is used in the diagnosis and/or therapy of thyroid diseases and brain tumors and in cardiac output, liver activity and blood volume studies.
b. Installation of a new Au-198 processing set-up together with an improvement of ancillary equipment which will allow production of higher activity radio- isotopes.
c- .Interim importation of high activity 1-131 and distribution to local medical practi- tioners. This method was resorted to in order to reduce the cost of this radioisotope i and make it available to a wider segment of ' the population.
I d. Still in the experimental stage but expected I to fu*ther th^ cause of public health is the bulk irradiation of medical supplies for I sterilization. Bulk irradiation of cotton gauze was started this year. 1 - 32 - I To safeguard the health of radiation and non-radiation workers, the PAEC is pursuing a bio-assay program that would determine the radionuclide content, of urine of subjects who may have ingested radioisotopes. This year, two radioisotopes were monitored among PAEC personnel.
a. The Po-210 content in the urine of smokers and non-smokers was determined. Polonium-210 is a natural contaminant of tobacco and may present a hazard to the health of smokers. Analysis so far made on the urine of PAEC personnel indicated a significant difference in the Po-210 content between smokers and non-smokers. Preliminary results of twenty urine samples from smokers revealed Po-210 content values from 0.1301 pCi/24-hour sample to 0.6335 pCi/24-hour whereas the twenty-five samples taken from non-smokers showed values from 0.0502 to 0.5697 pCi/24- hour sample. More samples are being analyzed to make the findings conclusive.
b. The procedure for the identification and measurement of 1-131 in urine was established and the urine content of PAEC personnel I directly involved in radioisotope production I was monitored. A body burden, ranging from I - 33 - I 0.1955 to 0.97 uCi, for PAEC radiation workers was obtained. The maximum permissible body burden limit prescribed by the International Commission on Radia- tion Protection is 0.7 uCi.
Improvement of the Human Environment
The year 1976 has seen the fruitful implementation of partnership and integration concepts in the area of environmental conservation. Work on pesticide residues in cereals, fruits, vegetables and in human abdominal fats as well as analyses of toxic heavy metal pollution in marine areas are among the PAEC contributions to the national goal of preserving or improving the quality of life in the Philippines. In this work, linkages with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, the National Grains Authority and the NSDB were established. Among the more notable results are:
1. The mercury content of fish, shellfish and seaweed samples from the Manila Bay and Laguna de Bay area were all found to be below the maximum permissible I level of 0.5 ppm. The cadmium and lead content of fish, shellfish, oysters and tahong samples were I also found to be in the ultra-trace levels (0-0.5 ppm) and are definitely lower than the US

1 3. Cereal samples consisting of rice, corn, sorghum, I and soybean were analyzed. The principal crops, rice and corn were sprayed with vapona, malathion 1 and fenithion during storage at the NGA. Vapona was not detected while both malathion and fenithion 1 were detected in amounts very much below the tole- i rance levels for these pesticides. 4. Levels of DDT in abdominal fats of Filipinos I determined in PAEC by nuclear-based techniques showed a mean value of 1.90 ppm (for 68 samples) I as compared to the US value of 6.98 ppm I (64 samples), Japanese value of 2.32 ppm (241 samples) and 2.2 ppm (131 samples) in I an English study.

Basic Objective Research
In the past few years, basic research in the PAEC has been increasingly redirected towards goals which, though essentially basic, are aimed towards the develop- ment of new and useful materials or towards a better 1 understanding of processes and systems in order that more effective solutions to pressing problems may be I found. Thus for the year 1976, the following activities/ I investigations were pursued: 1. Initial steps in the development of computer I operating systems for the safety evaluation of nuclear power reactors. This is important I to the nuclear power plant safety considerations. Software development not only for safety 1 evaluation but also in support of other PAEC I researches were started by the mathematics group organized barely two years ago.
I 2. Modernization of the electronics system of the I neutron spectrometer by replacing the old one with a completely transistorized system. The 1 old system was then adapted to the beryllium
1 - 36 - I I
detector spectrometer which is a locally fabricated I neutron spectrometer. These spectrometers are used to measure neutron fluxes especially those coming I from the reactor. I 3. Assembly and local fabrication of a Bridgman furnace facility. This together with a globular furnace and I a sintering furnace which were both fabricated locally and now operational,, are being used in the I preparation of crystals that are of interest in I solid state physics, and may have potential uses in solid state electronics.
1 4. Evaluation of concrete and concrete-enamel mixtures 1 for dosimetry purposes in an attempt to find local substitutes for expensive LiF-teflon thermoluminescent I dosimeters. Concrete-enamel discs were found to give a fairly good response from 0.1 to 100 kr. with good I reproducibility but with a rather high fading I characteristic. I Radiological Surveillance of the Environment While the PAEC mission is to harness atomic energy I to serve the Filipino in all aspects of peaceful appli- cations, one of its primary responsibilities is to I protect and safeguard these same populace from undue I radiation exposure. This responsibility was carried I - 37 - I out by the PAEC through the establishment of the base- line radionuclide content of air, soil, water (ground, surface, marine and rain), various bio-media including grass and milk and of common food items. From these data it will be possible to monitor any future signi- ficant increase in background radioactivity due to the operation of nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities as well as nuclear weapons testing and nuclear detonations, whether peaceful or otherwise. A necessary by-product of nuclear operations are radioactive wastes. Proper, safe and efficient treat- ment of these wastes is an important function of the PAEC.
Important accomplishments this year in radiological surveillance are:
a. Monitoring of radioactivity in rainwater. Samples collected in the vicinity of the PAEC showed very low activities but with appreciable yearly fluctuations. This demonstrates and proves the safe expe- rience in the operation of a nuclear research reactor by local technicians. It also indicates negligible fallout from nuclear testing especially in the I Chinese mainland.

Counting of processed rainwater sample as part of the routine radioactivity sur- veillance and monitoring at the reactor site. b. Radioactivity measurements on sea and fresh water samples gathered by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and by the PAEC information group in their provincial sortees. Areas covered include the mussel farms of Bacoor Cavite, Pres. Roxas in Capiz, Panguil Bay in Tangub City, the oyster farms of Cebu and Western Samar and the Pearl farm of Eastern Samar. Included also are the fish reservations of Manila Bay, Polillo Islands, Pagapos Bay, Puerto Galera, San Miguel Bay, Sorsogon Bay, Asid Gulf, Tinagong-dagat II Bay, Bantayan Islands, Maqueda Bay, Villareal Bay, Zumarraga Channel, San I! Pedro Bay in Leyte and various points in Sorsogon, Naga, Zambales, Pangasinan, II La Union, Batangas, Isabela, Lanao del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur. All samples 9 showed very low activities, an appreciable I number having no significant activity above I background. One of the radioactive contaminants which enter I the body through different food chains and which results principally from nuclear weapons testing is Cs-137. I Results of PAEC investigations indicate that cereals.
- 39 - I specifically rice, exhibit relatively higher concentra- tion of Cs-137 compared to all food items. The Cs-137 concentration in rice samples was found to be 484.23 t 308.7 pci/kg. This gives the average Metro-Manilan a Cs-137 dose commitment of 2.18 millirems per year which is very far below the maximum permissible level of 500 millirems per year. Body burden determination is important because Cs-137 is a hazardous radionuclide. Cs-137 determination in green leafy vegetables, fish, pork, beef, shrimps, eggs and milk are currently on-going.
Waste treatment studies this year were directed towards the development of bituminous mixtures as a suitable medium for storing radioactive materials in an insoluble form. Several mixing proportions containing bitumen and sludges were tested for flash point, viscosity, melting point and penetration point which are important parameters in determining the stability of the medium preliminary to leach testing.

Isotope Distribution PARC's radioisotpe production facilities have been fully optimized to meet the growing demand for local radioisotopes. PAEC is now capable of producing some 17 primary isotopes and compounds in various forms. This year PAEC has serviced the needs of some 344 radio- isotope users, mostly for Iodine-131, Gold-198 and Phosphorous-32 which are used in the medical field for the diagnosis and therapy of metabolic diseases. II c. Industrial Applications With nuclear techniques steadily gaining wider acceptance in industry, PAEC has conti- nuously provided services to industry on industrial process application of isotopes, radiometric tests, nuclear analyses, and repair and calibration of nuclear devices.
II A PAEC Co-60 radiographic equipment was li loaned to the Asiatic Corporation and Ames Enterprises.
II PAEC conducted radiometric tests on ore II samples for A, Soriano Corporation and neutron activation analysis of pulverized rock samples for Marinduque Mining and Industrial Corporation.
- 43 - i Neutron activation analyses, atomic absorption spectrometric analyses, gas chromatographic analyses and analyses by pulsed anodic stripping voltametry were used for requests on product quality control. These specialized analytical services were extended to manufacturing firms like the International Chemical Industries, Nutritional Products Inc., I Ramear Inc., Philippine Refining, Dole Philippines, Inc., South Pacific Export CorporCorporationa , Planters Products and San Miguel Corporation.
d, Radwaste Management and Film Badge Service With the growing number of nuclear laboratories in hospitals, universities and research organizations as well as the widening applications of radioisotopes and nuclear techniques in industry, an increased need for radioactive products management and radiation personnel exposure monitoring was indicated. I For 1976, the 183 waste disposal services provided by PAEC in connection with the rad- waste management program included some 216
- 44 - «•>
liters of low level radioactive liquid waste and about 55 cubic feet of solid waste that have been collected and properly stored for disposal. These wastes came from PAEC labo- ratories including tailings from the laboratory- scale uranium processing project as well as other institutions being serviced such as: II the International Rice Research Institute. II Rizal Provincial Hospital, Veterans Memorial Hospital, Bureau of Soils, Medical Test II Systems, Inc. and Fortune Tobacco. II PAEC also undertook evaluation and processing of 4,112 film badges of radiation II personnel employed in nuclear laboratories, medical institutions and other licensed I radiation facilities. I e. Fabrication, Repair and Calibration of Nucleonic I Equipment: Gradually through the years, PAEC has I developed local expertise in the fabrication and repair of nucleonic equipment. This I year, PAEC fabricated the following nuclear instruments: two (2) integrated circuit I sealers, one (1) Dekatron type sealer, I three (3) solid state ratemeters and two (2) I - 45 - I solid state survey meters. Six (6) instru- ments have been repaired for Nor Consult A.S. Industrial Inspection, Inc., U.P. and the Bureau of Soils. PAEC has also provided I! dosimetry calibration services on six (6) survey meters and five (5) dosimeters for Ii Industrial Inspection, Inc., Nor Consult A.S. and Engineering Equipment, Inc. f.

I I I 1 I NUCLEAR EDUCATION
PAEC has continued to intensify its efforts at providing a ready pool of trained manpower to carry out and support the various programs it has outlined. With the recent decision to construct a nuclear power plant, this role played by PAEC has assumed greater significance. In pursuit of this goal, PAEC has implemented local and overseas training programs as well as a degree-oriented 'I education program* These were also logically supple- mented by a program aimed at upgrading the science education in secondary schools and colleges. For the year under review, the following activities were undertaken:
1. Local Training: PAEC has continuously provided specialized training for professionals and tech- nicians to develop local expertise and augment i foreign training. Local training activities in I CY 1976 involved: a. Conduct of 7 specialized training sessions I on nuclear techniques, nuclear education and nuclear safety. One hundred twenty- I three (123) trainees completed these I courses. b. Conduct of a summer in-house training course I attended by 22 undergraduates and graduates.

NUCLEAR REGULATIONS & SAFETY
r - 51 - NUCLEAR REGULATIONS AND SAFETY
One of the primary concerns of the PAEC is to ensure that the construetien and operation of atomic energy facilities will neither endar.ger the safety and welfare of the public nor result in the irreversible degradation li of the environment. The First Philippine Nuclear Power Plant
With the President's decision to establish the first nuclear power plant in Bataar, the PAEC responsibility of assuring the safety of this and subsequent plants, becomes a matter of vital ccrcerr.. Towards this end, the PAEC granted on 20 December 1976 to the National Power Corpo- ration (NPC), utility owr.er of the Philippine Nuclear l Power Plant-1 (PNPP-1), a provisional permit to start construction after studies ar.d investigations were made on the follcwir.g prerequisites;
1. Preliminary Site 1 .vest i gat ion Report I (PSIR) format to be accomplished by I the utility operators,, This PSIR fGrmat was pub!i shed in the Official I Gazette on April 5, 1976 together with the Standards for Protection Against I Radiation» Subsequently, as required 1 by law., the NPC submitted to the PAEC 1 - 52 - I the PSIR in four (4) volumes. These were reviewed and evaluated by the PAEC for purposes of issuance of a provisional permit (PP) authorizing NPC to construct the power plant foundations and the spent fuel storage facility. This permit is valid for one (1) year from the date of issuance.
2. Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) format. This is now awaiting publication in the Official Gazette. These two documents are necessary in the licensing aspect of the PNPP-1 r now being established in Napot Point, Morong, Bataan*
i The PAEC has also established proper and applicable i Regulatory Guides, Codes, Standards and Criteria for safety in all phases of the establishment of nuclear i power plants such as siting, construction of the main facilities, preliminary operational procedures, operations i procedures, and plant maintenance. i Associated with the establishment of nuclear power plants is the need for the management of radioactive i wastes. One of the more important aspects of radioactive i - 53 - i waste management is the correct choice of a suitable waste depository site. Towards this end, the PAEC has established the controlling factors and/or criteria for site determination and is in the process of evaluating specific regiens and islands for this purpose.
Also in conjunction with the establishment of nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities such as uranium processing plants, the PAEC took active participation and assumed leadership in the President-formed interagency committee to study the proposed Regional Fuel Cycle Center (RFCC) for the ASEAN countries. PAEC undertook the impor- tant role of preparing the ground work for the deliberation of this Committee, the recommendations of which were sub- I sequently approved by the President.
I Other Regulatory Activities I The PAEC is charged not only with the licensing activities for the PNPP-1 but also the inspection and I licensing of users and importers of radioactive materials and facilities in the Philippines. For calendar year II 1976, the following were accomplished: I 1. New licenses and permits were issued to 19 establishments making use of nuclear I energy. These licensees are composed I of medical clinics and hospitals, a I - 54 - 1 paper mill, manufacturing firms, chemical and medical supply companies, corrosion technology service and a plating company.
2. One hundred twenty-three (123) licensees were granted renewal of their permits. These include medical clinics and hospitals, paper mills, tobacco industries, oil refineries, mining, mineral, and corrosion companies and the World Health Organization in Manila.
3. Two hundred and ten release certificates I were issued to importers of radioactive I materials and facilities. 4. Ocular inspections were conducted by the I PAEC Inspection Team to see to it that licensees complied with requirements and I regulations. I I I I I

PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE OF ATOMIC ENERGY
PAEC subscribes to the view that public acceptance of II any government activity is desirable and should be worked at; that there is no better assurance of public support il than a thorough understanding of an undertaking in order II to create an acceptable climate for public opinion. In its drive for public acceptance of atomic energy, the II Commission has adopted the following strategies: i identification of effective communication tools;
I gaining support of opinion makers, thought leaders as well as power and authority I centers;
I - establishment of continuing and dynamic linkages with the mass media and government I information offices; I saturation of the various public with I desirable positive information; and - cooperating with environmentalists in I pollution projects, These strategies are implemented using a public information I approach which recognizes the need for correct timing, I relevant content, appropriate medium and maximized use of scarce government resources. For the period under report
1 - 57 - I extensive and intensive efforts were directed towards correcting misconceptions and minimizing public indiffe- rence to and distrust of the risks involved in nuclear power plants. At the same time, popular acceptance of the many acknowledged applications of atomic energy in agriculture, medicine and industry was vigorously pursued. Significant activities accomplished were:
1* Live-in Seminar on Atomic Energy for Mass Media held at Bauang, La Union with twenty-four members of the mass media participating most of whom were newspapermen and radio-TV station managers and program directors» These seminars for mass media actually started in 1960 to , enable the media to write/speak/project confi- dently and with accuracy the developments in the nuclear field* The "graduates" of these seminars have been instrumental in news moni- toring for the public.
2. As part of its continuing outreach program, (i.e., aimed at special publics and sectors of society with corresponding varied modes I of approaches - seminars, conferences, lectures, exhibits, film showings, demonstrations, 1 fairs, scholarship grants, technical assistance, 1 etc.) 36 information campaigns on atomic

3. Publications
a» A notable development in PAEC's grass- roots information campaign is the launching of the PAEC Komiks Magasin, now published as a quarterly series.
b. One issue of the PHILIPPINES NUCLEAR JOURNAL came out during the period under report. The Philippines Nuclear Journal is a PAEC technical publication which has provided the means for information transfer of Nuclear R & D il undertaken mainly in the PAEC labora- tories. Its readership includes members of scientific and technical societies, educational institutions and agencies cooperating with the 1 PAEC in research and development projects. The Journal is linked I to the International Nuclear Inform- ation System and is thus accessible I to the world's scientific community.
I - 59 - I C. Two issues of the ATOMEDIA PHILIPPINES were published. This publication is a semi-technical kind with articles reflecting multi-sectoral thinking at all relevant planes and levels affecting the national atomic energy program. d. The PHILIPPINE ATOMIC BULLETIN came out with a regular and a special issue on II developments and activities in PAEC and other nuclear establishments li abroad. This,,too, is a semi-technical publication intended for a non-nuclear II readership.
11 4, The PAEC documentary film "Ikaw at ang Lakas Atomika" II was produced and shown in downtown theaters as well as in provincial moviehouses. I! 5. A loosely organized speakers bureau was set up consisting of PAEC researchers and technologists II with expertise in the nuclear as well as supportive II technologies. From this group were picked speakers, lecturers and resource persons in science fairs, and II for scientific seminars and symposia conducted by scientific societies and educational institutions. II At thetisame time, increased development awareness 1 in the Philippines brought about requests for I - 60 - I
r\;f;~'i;«''-,-r~j-:-r--v-'''-V^T" i speakers on nuclear power and technology for anniversary celebrations of different organi- zations undertaking activities technical in nature.
6. The visitor program of the Commission (guided tour of PAEC laboratories and exhibits) attended to 23,528 individuals and groups most of whom were high school and college students. Heaviest turn-out was experienced during the Atomic Energy Week when busloads of visitors arrived everyday at the PAEC compound. At the same time, requests for PAEC exhibits were accommo- dated and displayed in various science fairs, school anniversaries and special events of civic organizations.

y •r /y $ PAEC TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Commission's involvement in technical assistance is. a two-way process. Through its grants-in-aid program, the Commission extends various forms of assistance to government and private entities pursuing nuclear-oriented research at the same time that it facilitates the receipt of technical assistance mostly coming from international agencies such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)! the Colombo Plan, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Grant s-In-Aid: An important development in the nuclear program of the PAEC is the launching this year of the grants-in-aid project to promote and enhance the use of nuclear techniques in research and development. Under this scheme, PAEC extends assistance to government and private entities in the form of financial aid, expertise or consultancy services and, under special circumstances, equipment. Out of the 9 project proposals submitted and evaluated, 5 were granted assistance, mostly financial aid and consultancy service. Said projects are aimed at (a) increasing food production through crop improvement, food preservation and abatement of food losses by pest control and disinfestation means;
- 63 - I (b) preservation of a safe and healthful environment for. human beings.

^S INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
The Philippines, as a member of the International Atomic.Energy Agency, is committed to promote the peaceful uses of atomic energy., Realizing the importance of ful- filling this commitment, PAEC has endeavored to widen and strenghten cooperation in this field with other member- nations. Annually, PAEC reaffirms its support to this commitment through its participation in the annual IAEA General Conference. This year, the 20th IAEA Regular Session of the General Conference was held in Rio de II Janeiro with PAEC Commissioner, Librado D. Ibe, heading the Philippine delegation.
II A significant development in the international scene II this year is the signing of the Agreement of Cooperation on the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy which mutually II binds the Philippines and France to promote R & D progress II through the utilization of nuclear power facilities, radio- isotopes and nuclear technique applicationso Similar I agreements that have been proposed and still being nego- tiated are: the Proposed Agreement between the Philippines 1 and India on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy and the proposed Philippine-France-IAEA Trilateral Safeguards I Agreement. I International cooperation and coordination have been further strengthened with the hosting of international and i - 66 - I regional training courses and meetings in Manila. This year, the Philippine government and PAEC played host to two (2) international activities:
1. IAEA Regional Training Course on the Technical and Economic Aspects of Nuclear Power Development. This was participated in by 38 representatives from 13 countries.
2. The Third Research Coordination Meeting on Environmental Monitoring for Radiation Protection in South East Asia, The Far East and The Pacific. This was sponsored by the IAEA and was attended by 11 parti- cipants from various Asian countries and the IAEA as wel 1 <>

STAFF SUPPORT SERVICES
Staff and supportive functions were discharged by the two Service departments in the Commission: the Management and Administrative Services» The particular goals/objectives and the activities accomplished for the year may be »leaned from the following account.,
Management Services
Integrated Nuclear R & D Planning
Nuclear R & D planning was undertaken with the assistance of the various technical departments of the Commission. Howevei, the integrated perspective needed in presenting the Commission to higher authorities and other agencies was provided primarily by the Management Service» This essentially meant coordinating, consoli- dating and synthesizing the various specific plans of the technical departments into a unified program for I the Commission o The integrated approach was likewise I applied in evaluating and controlling the various projects, providirig statistical data and other forms I of staff ccordination both to the line departments and top management. These kinds of staff support were I predominant in the completion of the following tasks: 1. Preparation of the National Atomic I Energy Plan (1977-2000) subsequently
I - 69 - I submitted to NEDA for inclusion in the National Perspectives. This document identified the major thrusts of the Commission's program conforming to national development priorities.
2. Establishment of baseline data for project evaluation audit and control thru the basic data sheet for on-going projects, quarterly progress reports and monthly service reports. Thru this activity, monitoring of progress I and problems of all PAEC projects was continuously achieved. The Progress 1 Report on the R & D Projects of the I PAEC as of 31 December 1975 was compiled and completed.
I 3. Formulation of a set of guidelines for I the evaluation of on-going projects relative to content, methodology and I relevance. This was primarily achieved through a series of evaluation seminars I with the technical departments and the I preparation of guidelines for the "Synthesis, Evaluation and Monitoring I of Researches/Projects".
I - 70 - I 4. "Survey on the Radioisotope Needs of the Philippines" was undertaken to provide statistical basis for plans and programs pertaining to the Commission's radio- ieotope production» Corollary to the survey, data on importation and PAEC production was compiled for six fiscal years. Cost data for these radioisotopes were computed and projection of future II needs were made. 5. Survey on the "Availability of Materials II for Nuclear Power Plants and of Materials Testing Equipment" was likewise undertaken II to obtain data as to the identity and II nature of firms which may be tapped to provide quality control and testing II services or intending to manufacture components and materials needed for 1 reactors„ I 6. Start of a management information system on nuclear activities beginning with a I regular compilation of service and other data on PAEC activities including licensing I and inspection, library services, irradiation I services, radioisotope production and
I - 71 - I importation, analytical measurements, training courses, nuclear materials management, assistance to industries, etc. II Resources Assessment and Utilization
II The expansion of PAEC functions and services as provided for in its reorganization statute namely P.D. II 606 has called for a systematic and realistic appraisal II of its personnel, equipment and facilities. Towards this end, the following tasks were completed for the 1 period under review: 1 1» A personnel-work load inventory was conducted and completed with a total I of 259 personnel from the five line departments interviewed and their I corresponding work load and problems I assessed. 2. An assessment of PAEC capabilities I to undertake environmental conser- I vation work was made for an Inter- Agency Task Force on Environment.
I 3. Initial tabulations of equipment inventory for Special Projects, I Engineering Services and Shops,
I - 72 - I Health Physics Research and Chemistry for the utilization inventory planned for the next fiscal year.
Research Management Skills Enhancement
Recognition of the increasing number of R & D projects in the Commission as well as the heightened use of the total approach to national R & D efforts resulted in the conduct of:
1. A "Research Management Seminar" for the PAEC Senior Supervisory Staff held October-November, 1975 with 32 partici- pants and 15 invited guest lecturers.
2. A "PAEC Workshop on R & D Project Planning and Implementation for Researchers" held March-April, 1976 I with 41 participants and 10 invited I speakers. I Systems Improvement The twin goals of efficiency and effectivity requires I versatile staff assistance to top management as well as to all the other organizational units of the Commission. I Efficiency in the daily routine operations including ad-hoc I requirements as well as effectivity in policy formulation
I - 73 - I and implementation spell out the formula for successfully achieving organization goals and objectives. Staff assistance was extended in the form of pertinent data, statistics, drafting position papers, policy instructions, and other communication as well as follöw-up and links with relevant agencies and offices. All these are part II and parcel of continuously improving the various systems operating in PAEC.
II 1. The Commission's Organization, Functional, II and Position Charts were prepared, initial copies of which were submitted to relevant II agencies (e.g., WAPCO, Management Office i of the Budget Commission, etc.)» 2. A records management improvement program 11 for the Commission has been initially drawn up. A Commissior.-wide training 1 program for all personnel handling records I has been recommended for the next year. 3. A Public Assistance Unit was established I to attend to the clientele needs promptly. I 4. A series of "Policy Instructions" were issued during the year to implement I basic provisions of P.D. 606, particularly as it affects the discharge of the PAEC I mandated responsibility. i - 74 ~ I PAEC Policy Instruction Nos.
1-76 - PAEC Merit Promotion Plan
2-76 - Grants-in-Aid for Research Development 3-76 - Guidelines for the Grant of Honorarium and Other Monetary Compensation
4-76 - Local Scholarships for PAEC Personnel, Filipino Scientists and Technologists
5-76 - PAEC Extension Services
5. Linkages with the development programs at the national level both in the public and private sectors were established thru active involvement in meetings, seminars and conferences among which the more significant ones were: International Conference on the Survival of Humankind: The Philippine Experiment NEDA Sub-Committee on Power & Energy I Inter-Agency Committee on Environ- mental Protection I Batasan Bayan Committee on Energy Seminar by the Philippine Council I for Policy Science I PAEC Philippine Nuclear Congress
1 - 75 - I 6. Staff support in the budget, accounting and financial transactions of the Comniasion were rendered and the period under review II witnessed the establishment of innovative ¡I procedures as prescribed by relevant agencies like the Budget Commission and the Commission I! : on Audit. The most significant measure taken was the creation and operation of an Internal II II Control Unit to perform pre-auditing of II financial transactions to safeguard the II assets, interests and properties of the Commission* I I I Administrative Services
I Inherent in any organization is the existence of 1 housekeeping chores considered as vital support to the 1 I smooth undertaking of line functions. The coordination I and provision of adequate and efficient administrative I services has been a continuing concern of the Comnission I but more so with the expanded and reorganized set-up I brought about by P.D. 606• I I Legal Administration and Assistance I This involved the Commission's international commit- ments and relations, agreements entered into by the I Commission with other government and private agencies as well as legal advice on the Commission's internal and
1 - 76 - I external policies. Specifically, the tasks involved were legal study and research, drafting legal documents as well as making legal representations on the following matters:
I! 1. Cooperative arrangement between the I Commission and the Philippine Iron Mines for the exploratory drilling on mineral claims for the presence II of radioactive materials. 2. Sale by U.S. ERDA of special nuclear materials previously leased to the Philippines under the RP-US Lease Agreement. i 3. PAEC's Licensing Regulations relative to environmental considerations.
J 4. Legal considerations relative to f cooperative research and development activities with other institutions.
I 5. Comparative study on the aspect of civil liability arising from nuclear II incidents and those established under I the Civil Code. 6. Proposed Water Code of the National II Water Resources Council«,
- 77 - 7. Establishment of an Advisory Board on I Safety of Atomic Energy Facilities and II Materials* Personnel Blatters and Central Records
li 1. The year under review witnessed the following II personnel turnover and movement: Movement No. of Employees II Recruitment 42 II Separation: Resignation 23 II Retirement 3 Transfer 4 I Termination 5 Death 2 1 Promotion 80 I 2. With personnel movement was the inevitable change in personnel profile and as far as I its academic strength is concerned, the I profile now stands as follows: No. of Employes with Ph.D. - 12 I No. of Employes with M.S. - 36 No. of Employes with M.D. - 2 I No. of Employes with B.S. - 186 I It will be noted that the turnover of the higher qualified members of the PAEC
I - 78 - I scientific and technical staff has been so high as to reduce the number of graduate degree holders to almost half II the average for the past eight years. II 3- A General Reorientation Course for all PAEC personnel was conducted to familiarize II employees not only with their own agency but with the entire national government II program and policies. Resource speakers II were drawn from such national agencies as CSC, DPI, NEDA and GSIS. II The orientation program for the Commission's new employes was likewise i made more substantial and relevant. I 4. A marked improvement was observed after intensified management efforts to reduce I absenteeism and tardiness, minimize loitering during official hc^rs and to I require full attendance of personnel I at flag-raising ceremonies on Mondays and flag retreats on Fridays.
I 5. The central records retrieval arid I disposal system was improved thru the establishment of standard operating I procedures of inventory, appraisal, evaluation and records disposition.
I - 79 - 1 General Services Measures were instituted to improve facultative services thru a more efficient procurement system, property maintenance, collection and disbursement of money, as well as building and physical plant upkeep and development. I Improved supply management was effected thru the insti- I tution of a centralized storeroom and periodic inventory I and procurement of essential materials and supplies. I I I I I I I I I I
