Generally speaking, it is difficult to estimate correctly the exposed radiation

dose soon after the accident. Therefore, treatment of heavilyirradiated persons should be decided by the daily appraisal of clinica] 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
