DISTURBANCES OF SPERMATOGENESIS DUE TO RADIATION BY ATOMIC BOMB EXPLOSION AND FALL-OUT IN HIROSHIMA AND BIKINI

Journal Article · · Geka no Ryoiki
OSTI ID:4071616
Fifteen persons exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and 18 exposed to fall-out contamination in the Bikini area were examined for spermatogenesis. Three of the 15 Hiroshima cases showed aspermia and were believed not to have recovered, but all of the 18 Bikini cases showed complete recovery of spermatogenesis. Moat of the Bikini cases recovered in 9 to 20 months, but those which received 500 to 600 r of radiation took 30 months to recover. The physicochemical character of the sperm showed no great change in any of the cases. The function of the prostate was normal. (Abstr. Japan Med., 1: No. 2, 1960)
