Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4290450
Data are summarized from a long-term study on the nutritive properties of irradiated foods. Data are presented from observations on rats maintained for three generations on a diet containing irradiated chicken and green beans. Data are tabulated on weight gain, fertility, hematological values, congenital blindness, the nutritive value of irradiated and untreated soybean oil, the nutritive values of irradiated and untreated beef fatty tissues, the composition of a basal diet, and vitamins destroyed by radiation in diets containing 10% of untreated pork fatty tissues.
