Journal Article · · Public Health Repts. (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4067471
In experiments with beagles, the LD-50/30 for animals with whole-body exposure to 1,000 kvp x rays is placed at 250 r. The LD-50/30 for upper body exposure to 1,000 kvp x rays is placed at 1,775 r. The gram-roentgen dose required to produce a median lethal dose is raised fourfold by the shielding of the lower portion of the body. (auth)
