OSTI ID:4126315
Radiation damage to the eyes of subjects exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima is surveyed. Acute radiation sickness was found even in those who were exposed to a dose of only 70--80 e. Severe burns were observed among those who had been outdoors as far as 2100 m from the hypocenter. Cataract was found in those who received large irradiation doses (2685--3040 e) and the cataracts progress very slowly. (BBB)
