Scientific paper

ImmatureMacaca mulatta were exposed to varying doses of whole body irradiations utilizing 2 MeV X-rays; 55, 138 and 400 MeV protons; and 2.3 GeV protons. Over 200 primates remain in a life-long study of space type irradiation effects. Mean body weight decreases as a function of age, sex, dose and irradiation type have been found in the 55 MeV proton exposed group but not in the other groups. The cause of the decreased weights is unknown at iresent, as is the reason for the lack of this effect in the more penetrating irradiations.
