SUMMARY
The hematological changes of Japanese fishermen exposed to fallout in
1954 were reported with other findings.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to estimate correctly the exposed radiation
dose soon after the accident. Therefore, treatment of heavily irradiated persons should be decided by the daily appraisal of clinical and laboratory
findings. From this point, hematological changes are an important information

to decide the therapy which should be given to heavily irradiated subjects.
As to the Japanese fishermen, it seems to be very important as well as
necessary to detect the significance of subtle changes such as they are still
