A statistical analysis was made of data on the effect of chronic irradiation on life span. Data on radiation injuries in mice were analyzed in terms of the Gompertz function in such a way that the resulting curves are internally consisttion dose for those occupationally exposed is 210 r at age 60. On the basis of the assumptions presented, life shortening of about 8 months is to be expected following chronic exposure to 0.05 r per day. If 500 r is assumed to be the average dose accumulated up to age 60, the life-shortening is estimated at 1.5 years. (C.H.)
