Comparison With the Japanese Hiroshima sad Nagasaki Dees The limitations stated in Table 4.10 apply to the Japanese low dove groups® E to H in par- ticular, in which values given (Oughtersen et al.

Hence, while the pattern of change with respect to time is of value, absolute counts probably are high. The time course of hematological change in the people of Group I correspond most closely with these low exposure Japanese groups in which definite signs of severe radiation exposure were present in some individuals but in which essentially no mortality occurred (initial hematological studies on the Japanese terminated at 15 veeks). The early period up to approximately 6 weeks was characterised by considerable variation '8 total white count in both the (iroup | and Japanese ee 4.42 ees aes MOT AteBie ean e BYYUCTS oP serene nastaTroN
