OSTI ID:4241773
The rare-earth mixture known as didymium (as the nitrate) was administered to rats intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, and in wound implantation. Mortality and clinical sequelae were observed. When groups of these animals were subjected to 800 r of Co/sup 60/ gamma irradiation, mortality was increased in all treatment groups. This increase was statistically significant in the intraperitoneal experiment, and the combined effect appears to be synergistic. (auth)
