The decision to discard the Radiation Policy Council, the coordinating agency established in 1980, leaves the federal government with no overall focus or overall budget for radiation research and protection activities. The line agencies with direct radiation responsibilities, including the Department of Energy, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Defense, Food and Drug Administration's Bureau of Radiological Health, and Department of Labor, continue with somewhat contradictory and uncoordinated programs.

The American College of Radiology designed a "crash" program to train radiologists to interpret and classify the radiological manifestations of coal workers' pneumoconiosis. This Viewbox Seminar combines two pedagogic techniques, group viewbox study, and a test-teach-test sequence of instruction that compels active participation in the learning process. Weekend scheduling and good location and transportation connections facilitate attendance, making this an excellent way to teach large groups of radiologists certain subtleties of radiology in a short time.
