RADIATION DOSIMETRY IN HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI ATOMIC-BOMB SURVIVORS
Journal Article
·
· New Engl. J. Med.
This report summarizes the present state of knowledge in dosimetry of the survivors of the bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Data on the physical factors involv in the two cities and on attenuation of radiation by vario shielding situations are presented. This information is being used to estimate a tentative radiation dose to individual atomic bomb survivors. lt should be emphasized the many important problems remain to be solved before accurate doses can be assigned to individual survivors. Such information will greatly atrengthen the investigation of biologic consequences of instantaneous doses of and neutron irradiation in man. (auth)
