DISCUSSION
M. Tsuzuki: I should like to make some remarks on the radiation injuries of twenty-three
Japanese fisherman, which occurred 4 years ago. The fishermen lived together for 2 weeks on a
‘small contaminated boat. After 4 weeks they showed leukopenia and myelophthisis; after 6
weeks, disturbance of liver function and jaundice; after 3 months hypo- or aspermia, etc. We
have lost one case, as a result of severe hepatitis. Now, after 4 years, all surviving fisherman are
feeling well and looking healthy. I cannot say now anything about the late effects of their
radiation injury.
