Qualified personne! should be designated by name; minimal clinical and research procedures considered essential should be established and necessary equipment should be stockpiled. 2. It is recommended that steps be taken to obtain additional data in the laboratory in the following categories: (a) The hematological response of large animala, and preferably man, exposed to radiation producing the depth-dose curve seen with fallout gamma radiation from a plane field. Data well beyond the usual 30-day period, and preferably for at least a year after exposure, are necessary. (b) The response of human skin to beta radiation under conditions of different beta ener- gies, source sizes, and source geometries. - . cee . . ee aeeece . aete * ee
