THE EFFECT OF ACUTE DOSES OF NUCLEAR RADIATIONS ON THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD PICTURE OF THE MONKEY (MACACA MULATTA)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4151746
Male Macaca mulatta monkeys were exposed to three different doses of combined neutron and gamma radiations which derived from an uncontrolled nuclear reaction. Changes which were observed in the peripheral blood picture may be attributed solely to the effects of the ionizing radiations to the 1 percent confidence limit. Results, compared with those obtained by other investigators, show the hematologic effects of neutron-gamma exposure to be similar to those resulting from exposure to x radiation. (auth)
