THE RELATIVE EFFECT OF PULSED RADIATION EXPOSURE IN PRODUCTION OF ACUTE MORTALITY IN MICE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4726127
Mice were subjected to pulsed exposures of either fission spectrum neutrons or gamma radiation. The acute mortality response of animals given pulsed radiation of the order of 10/sup 6/ rads/min was compared with mortality responses obtained by neutron irradiation at 40 rads/min and gamma irradiation at 100 rads/min. No significant differences in LD/sub 50/30/ were observed as a function of dose rate with either gamma or neutron irradiation. (auth)
