EFFECTS OF THE RATE OF DELIVERY OF IONIZING RADIATION ON THE LD50/30 OF RODENTS.
Abstract
Mortality and shock-avoidance performance were observed in Wistar albino rats subjected to pulsed ionizing radiation from two different nuclear reactors. In one, the n/gamma dose ratio obtained ranged from 2.5/1 to 6.6/1, and the pulse width was 48 microsec. at half-amplitude. In the other, the pulse half-width was either 10 to 150 msec., and the n/gamma tissue dose ratio used ranged from 1/23 to approximately 5.3/1. (Author)
