THE ACUTE MORTALITY RESPONSE OF BEAGLES TO PULSED, MIXED GAMMA-NEUTRON RADIATIONS,
Abstract
Eighty-one beagle dogs were exposed unilaterally to mixed gamma-neutron radiations from the AFRRI-TRIGA reactor. Nine groups received midline tissue doses ranging from 155 to 236 rads. Radiations were delivered in a single pulse with 80 percent of the dose delivered in less than 70 milliseconds. The LD50/60 was 210 rads. Survival times ranged from 10 to 25 days, and the mean was 16.5 days. The radiation effects were most prominent between 10 and 25 days postexposure. (Author)
