In 1954, Claus oversaw the testing of samples from the Marshall Islands for radioactive fallout from the Castle Bravo explosion.[5][6] From 1949-1955 he held the position of Chief in the Division of Biology and Medicine, AEC.[citation needed] Then from 1955-1967 he served as Special Assistant to Division Director, AEC.[citation needed]
Health Physics Society
Claus was a key member in the formation of the Health Physics Society and represented the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.[7][8][9] In 1955, he was one of the founding members and part of the initial board of directors.[10] He would also serve as the society's president during 1961 and 1962.[10]
