I would like to know

if this perturbs anyone?

I have talked to a numberof people that it has perturbed.

In other words, the findings observed are not commensurate
with the calculated dose.

Are they or aren't they?

Is it

necessary to go to something like this depth dose business
to explain this?

Do we have to go to something like

combined effects to explain it.

Or is everybody happy with

the findings of 150 or 175 r?

on the basis of large animal experience in the laboratory
and with fission spectrums from atomic bombs based on Green-

house work, or there is some weird combination of radiation
effects that we are not at all aware of to make this
difference.
It is a very real difference in the time sequence

in the platelets in these human beings that occur as has
been observed in any laboratory animal.
