QUESHONS
AND ANSWERS
The Texas State Department of
Health is involved in mountains of
work after receiving licensing and
supervisory authority from the
Atomic Energy Commission for
by-product materials and pmatl
quantities of special nuclear and
source materials.
Texas ranked fourth in the
number of AEC licenses prior to
the State's assumption of the pro-
gram. Somewhat unique to Texas
is the presence of seven research
reactors, a uranium mill and the
location of the principle refueling
site of the nuclear powdered
Savt'nnah.
Approximately 350 radioisotope
licenses have been reviewed and
granted out of over 500 federal
licenses transferred to Texas by
the AEC March 1. All those previ-
ously under the immediate super-
vision of the Commission must
have Texas licenses.
Thus, the Division of Occupa-
tional Health and Radiation Con-
trol of the State Health Depart-
ment, along with the help of many
others, is in the process of con-
tacting and checking each of these
groups oi individuals.
The AEC, however, retains con-
trol of those radiation installa-
tions dealing with large quantities
of nttciear materials required to
sustain a steady chain reaction,
This amount is known as a criti-
cal mass. When there is a sub-
critical mass, no chain reaction
can occur.
Licensing authority for radia-
tion users in the State was granted
in January when the Governor
and the AEC signed a contract
culminating over eight years of
preparation. After passage of per-
missive legislation by Congress in
1959, the Commission evolved
criteria to be met tor placing the
regulatory authority in the hands
of those states which could prove
competency. In 1961 Texas legis-
lation was enacted to permit state
participation in the transfer.
Texans went to work to write
suitable regulations which would
be compatible with national
standards and became the fifth
state to meet this challenge. Under
the agreement with the AEC.
the Texas State Hea!th Depart-
ment is the responsible agency,
acting with the cooperation of a
Radiation Advisory Board ap-
pointed by the Governor.
The Department's interest in
radiation antedates World War
II. Studies which pointed out the
danger of shoe-fitting fluoroscopes
were made in the State as early
as 1947. Additional studies in-
volving x-ray and radium use
soon followed. Work concerning
occupational and radiological
health hazards has been and con-
tinues to be an important function
of the Department.

Dear Mr. C.
Q My husband receives disabitity
benefits from the social se-
curity program following a
severe heart attack. If I can
go to work to increase our
family income, would that
cause him to lose his benefits?
A—No. Your earnings would not
have any affect on his pay-
ments. In fact, congress proba-

bly anticipated that a wife j
without minor children to care
for would be able to work. At }
least, no benefits wore pro- j
vided for her under these con- ,
etitions unti] she reaches 62. A I
wife of a disabled (or retired)'
beneficiary receives a pay-
ment also if she is 62 or has
a child in her care.
Q—How do I get a new social
security card? The numbers
on my old one arc worn off.
A—You will need to complete a
new "application for account
number" (form SS-5). Your
old number will be located
and a new card issued with
the same number you had be-
fore. Forms SS-5 are availa-
bie at your social security of-
fice and most post offices. If
your name has been changed
(by marriage, or for other
reasons) since your first card
was received, use form OAAN-
7003 (request for change in
social security records) in-
stead of the SS-5.
Q—I am 66 and plan to retire
July 1. As I have already
earned far over $1,200
in 1903, can I be paid anything
by social security this year?
A—Yes. Monthly payments could
start for July. Although your
1963 earnings exceed $1200,
the law provides for payments
for any month during which
you neither earn over $100 in
wages or work substantially
in your own business.
A free booklet on social security
along with a "check-up" post card
so you can check your social se-
curity record will be mailed upon
requests. Address your requests
and questions to: MR. C.. SOCIAL
SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,
P. O. BOX 3427, TYLER. TEXAS.
