LATENT EFFECTS OF CHRONIC IRRADIATION ON LONGVITY AND THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD ELEMENTS OF THE MONKEY, MACACA MULATTA
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4112583
Long-term results are reported from a study of the effects of chronic exposure to mixed gamma--neutron radiation in monkeys. Thirty-five young adult male Macaca mulatta were exposed to doses ranging from 77 to 614 rep during 4 exposures of 16 hr each with a 4-day recovery time between exposures or 20 exposures of like duration with a 12-day recovery time between exposures. Observations over a period of several years post-irradiation showed that the hematopoietic system returned to essentially normal conditions and showed no long- term effects due to irradiation. No change in longevity was observed to result from the radiation exposure. (C.H.)
