Effect of radiation on troops in the fields
If substantial numbers of men receive acuto radiation dosea
substantially above 100r, there is grave risk that fighting
units will rapidly become ineffeotive.

It is probable that at least eight such missions can be carried
out at weekly or longer intervals before the chance of mission,
failure becomes large due either to illness during the mission
or significant general deterioration in health and ability.

Radiation dosae substnatially above 75r are considered to very
