for deily hematological studies mentioned below and the blood of the dogs will be saved for chemical studies. c. Blood Counts: To be done deily on dogs and pigs by Connander Cronkite. d. Blood Chemistry: 50 percent of the dog blood -at autopsy will be saved. The plasne will be senarated and frozen. The followings studies are contenplated: 1. plasma fibrinozen (?? by whom) 2. non-protein bound iron (Chenutin) 3. serum potassiun (Hastings) “he remainder of the plasma will be stabilized and preserved by pessing through an ion exchange column (Libby, U.C.L.A.). Thermel Radiation: There will be five stetions in the first test, Six in the second, e*ech conteining eleven animals (three or four pigs for every doz). Zach enimel will be anesthetized and held in place against tne vorts designed to admit non-ionizing radiations of different wave length or at difterent times after the ex-losion. Three combinations of biological measurements will be mede--the first, the thermal burns versus tine i.e. during the first 50 rillisecond interval after the explosion and during the ceriod thereafter; the second, the burn oroduced on skin gredually exnosed by a sliding Snutter which opens at a definite rete of speed, and third, odurns produced by excluding certain components of the lizsnt spectrum, i.e. by filtering out individuelly the ultraviolet, the visible, end the infrered light. “ech of these tests will be car ied out on both pigs and US DOE ARCHIVES AY
