THE ACUTE MORTALITY RESPONSE OF THE MINIATURE PIG TO PULSED MIXED GAMMA-NEUTRON RADIATIONS,
Abstract
Miniature pigs were exposed unilaterally to mixed gamma-neutron radiations from the AFRRI-TRIGA reactor delivered in a single pulse. Seventy-one miniature pigs received midline tissue doses ranging from 183 to 335 rads. The LD50/45 was 218 rads. Survival times ranged from 10 to 22 days, and the mean survival time for all decedents was 15.1 days. Clinical symptoms and pathological changes are reported. (Author)
