E2K be expected to render armed Forces personnel ineffective as troops
within a few hours through a substantial incidence cf nausea, voriting,
weakness and prostration,
Mortality produced by an acute exposure of
150 roentgens will be very low and eventual recovery of physical fitness
may be expected,
d.
Field commanders should, therefore, assume that if substantial nuzbcr
of their men receive acute radietion exposures substantially above 100
roentgens there is a grave risk thet their comands will repidly becone
ineffective as fighting units,
e.
Internal radiation hazards caused by entry of radioactive substances
through the mouth, through the lungs or through cuts or wounds do not
exist after an air burst,
Internal hazards following a contarinating
surface explosion may be avoided if ordinary precautions are taken,
Only
uncer unusual circumstances will thcre be internal hezard from residucl
contamination,
This eliminates the necessity for mesking and consequent
reduction of tactical efficiency,
