- The disciplines represented in the HSC will include different science fields, related to the use of nuclear technologies, among them Physics, Biology, Medicine and Engineering.
- It is desirable to have at least one member representing each discipline in the HSC.
- If needs arise members of HSC will create ENS Scientific Subcommittees, r esponsible for work on particular issues. Each subcommittee would have a president, who might be, but is not necessarily, a member of HSC.
- The work in HSC and subcommittees is voluntary.
- The main tasks of HSC are:
9.1.To critically review the current situation of the science and technology in
the fields of interest for ENS and issue position statements on relevant
