Procedure: Animals would be exposed as in 3,2.1.1 at distonces
Whore sublethal doses could be expected, Long term follow-up,
and breeding studies would then be conducted after roturning
the animals to the National Cancer Institute.
Project 3:
3.2.3e0l
Responsible
Objective:
area burned
Procedure:
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 bo made by suitably timed shiolds
EoBoparate the majority of the thermal exposure from the
donizing radiation exposures Suitably shielded pigs will be
placed whero burns of varying severity can be anticipated,
The influence of the burn on mortality, and as a complication
of rediation injury will be studied,

Responsible Agency: University of Rochester
Objcctive: To compare atom bomb flash burn with material from
Bikini, and with flash burns produced in the laboratory)
Procedure: Suitably shiclded pigs will be placed where burns
of varying severity can be anticipateds The histological
character of the burns, end related phenomena will be studied
in an attempt to evelunte other atom bomb flash burns, and

Study of Blast Injury
Responsible jigeney: National Military Establishment
Objective: To study blast injury using improved containers
basedonoxpericnce at Inyokorn and Bikini,’ Thoro wore serious
discrepancies at Bikini betwcen the degree 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, shiclded from thermal radiation
would be exposed in various » citions related to blast measuring devices, They would be sacrificed as soon as recovered
