An international team of 21 scientific secretaries, including one from Israel, has been named for the second United Nations International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy. This will be held in Geneva September 1-13.
The UN announced today that all of the secretaries, including Dr. Israel Dostrovsky, chairman of the Isotope Department at the Weizmann Institute of Science at Rehovoth, have arrived at UN headquarters. They have been assigned to work at UN headquarters, and later at Geneva, on specific subjects which will receive major attention at the conference.
Dr. Dostrovsky also served as director of research of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, of which he is now a member, and was Israel’s official delegate to the first UN international conference in 1955. The United Arab Republic also will be represented at the conference.
