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.
(12) and Le Roy (13)) are pooled and include
individuals located at the time of the bombing

such that they may not have received signifi-
cant exposure.
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
