Cumulative mortality in radionuclide-treated beagles

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4052533
Sixteen beagles treated with $sup 226$Ra died during the past year. Osteosarcomas caused the death of nine and six beagles in the R30 and R20 levels, respectively. Only one other beagle in the $sup 226$Ra injection series died during the past year, an R05 dog with severe chronic active interstitial pneumonia. The cumulative survival rate of R20 beagles is significantly lower than that of controls. (auth)
