DOSE RATE EFFECT OF LD50/30 IN MICE EXPOSED TO COBALT-50 GAMMA IRRADIATION,
Abstract
LD50/30 determinations were made on Swiss Webster female mice exposed to cobalt-60 gamma irradiation at five dose rates between 2.25 and 200 rads per minute. The results are analyzed by the Bateman formula, which makes a very accurate estimation of the LD50/30 in mice in the dose rate range studied. Preliminary data are presented which indicate that this formula will apply to dose rates as low as 100 rads per day. (Author)
