Biography
French physician and educator. He was chief of the Curie Institute department of atomic radio pathology 1950-60 and also worked at the Atomic Energy Commission with radio-isotopes and nuclear radiology. For many years, he was in charge of both functions and also carried a teaching load at the University of Paris and headed committees for many Ministries.
Jammet was one of the first Presidents of the French Society for Radiation Protection (SFRP). He became an officer of the Legion of Honour in 1979 for services to health. Among his foreign decorations, he particularly valued one from former Yugoslavia for treating the unfortunate victims of the accident that occurred in Vinca in 1958. As if his national tasks were not enough, he was heavily engaged, for decades, in radiological
protection work for UN agencies, Euratom, OECD, ICRP, ICNIRP and IRPA.
Always gracious, sometimes dramatic, Jammet was the voice of France on international occasions. He married on 12/21/1948. His death of cardiac arrest was unexpected, while on vacation in Sabrata, Lybia on 8/19/1996.
