Abstract:

LD5030 determinations were made on Swiss Webster female mice exposed to cobalt-60 gamma irradiation at five dose rates between 2.25 and 200 rads per minute. The results are analyzed by the Bateman formula, which makes a very accurate estimation of the LD5030 in mice in the dose rate range studied. Preliminary data are presented which indicate that this formula will apply to dose rates as low as 100 rads per day. Author
