In this work a comparative evaluation is made of the radiation effects of ..beta..-particles of /sup 204/Tl and /sup 147/Pm on the integument of swine; the dosage to the surface was 600, 1000 and 3000 rad for /sup 204/Tl, 1000, 5000 and 10,000 rad for /sup 147/Pm. In these dose ranges, the energy of ..beta..-radiation does not affect the nature of dose functions of parameters of epidermal basal cells. However, /sup 204/Tl ..beta..-particles, which damage the corium, elicit significant changes in the epidermis, which are indicative of decreased overall cellularity with increase in radiation dosage.
