INCAPACITATION IN THE MONKEY (Macaca mulatta) FOLLOWING EXPOSURE TO A PULSE OF REACTOR RADIATIONS

摘要

One hundred and thirty-one monkeys (Maraca mutate) were exposed to scheduled doses of 2,500 through 80,000 rods of pulsed reactor radiations using a TRIGA reactor, the animals were observed with respect to survival time, and time to permanent complete incapacitation. Additional observations of a clinical nature were made during the post irradiation course.
