Therefore, the radiation dose
fishermen was at first small and
then rapidly increased.
As the fisher-
men began to clean up at about 12:00,
the exposure rate decreased thereafter.
They were irradiated continuously for
2 weeks with decreasing dose rates.
Aside from this external irradiation,
internal exposure may have had some
effects. But the internal irradiation
seeed to have only a slight effect
on the acute hematological changes.
