Studies were made of biological effect on monkeys (Macaca mulatta) of brief and long-term ..gamma..-radiation, as well as 240 MeV protons. The dosage of brief proton, brief and long-term ..gamma..-radiation constituted 700, 600 and 730 rad, respectively. The severity of clinical manifestations and cytopenic changes, and incidence of deaths in comparable groups were found to be rather similar.
