ABSTRACT
LAf{sub 1} mice, swine, and dogs were exposed to x

radiation to determine the mortality rate-dose
relationship. The data on mice were analyzed by the

method of probits,

and the values

for the LD{sub 50}’s

and y intercepts of the regression lines were
determined. LD curves for swine indicate that bilateral
irradiation is more lethal than unilateral, and dose
distribution is dependent on wave length. LD{sub 50/30},
and gross and microscopic pathologic changes produced in
dogs were determined. It was concluded that the
confinement of dogs, swine, and mice under conditions
similar to those encountered at Greenhouse did not
affect significantly their response to irradiation.
