Study of Thermal Injury
Agency: National Military Establishment
To study the relation of the mortality to surface
and to the degree of the burn.
An attempt will be made by suitably timed shiclds
the majority of the thermal exposure from the
ionizing radiation exposure.
‘Suitably shiclded pigs will be
placed where burns of varying severity can be anticipated,
The influonce of the burn on mortality, end as a complication
of radiation injury will be studicd,.

Responsible 4eeney: University of Rochester
Objective: To comparc atom bomb flash burn with matcrial from
Bikini, and with flash burns produced in the laboratory.
Procedure: Suitably shiclded pigs will be placed where burns
of varying severity can be anticipated, The histological
character of the burns, and related phenomena will be stucied
in an attempt to evrlunte other atom bomb flash burns, and
laboratory flash burns,
Responsible Apency: Argonne National Laboratory
Objective: To analyze histologic changes in tho skin of pigs
exposed to thermal radiation, for comparison with the findings
in the skin of the victims of the Los 4lmos accident.
Procedure: Young pigs would be exposed, suitably shielded
from blast, and by timing devices from some of the ionizing
radiation,
Specimens of skin would be removed,fixed and
returned to the U. 8. for study.

Study of Blust Injury
Responsible Agency:
Objective:
Netional Military Establishment
‘fostudy blast injury using improved containers
basedonexpericnce at Inyokern and Bikini,’ There were serious
discrepancies at Bikini between the degrce of injury and the
estimated overpressurc, with lethal effects from peak pressures
that are not lethal with H.E. Further study of this is desired,
Procedure: Small animals, shielded from thermal radiation
would be cxposed in various positions related to blast measuring devices, They would be sacrificed as soon as recovered
for study of blast effects,

Study of Simulated BW A,-ents
Responsible Agency: National Military Establishment
Objective: To study the effect of atom bomb radiation on the
Simulated BW agents currently under study by the Chemical Corps,
Proeedurc: Simulated agents, protocted from thermal radiation
would be cxposed at various stations where predetcrmined radintion intonsity is anticipated, Bacteriologic studies of the
growth characteristics of these agents would be conducted at
Eniwetok and in the U.S,
