Abstract

Prediction of the recovery rate from whole-body ionizing radiation for man was done by relating basal metabolic rate for various species and their experimental half-time recovery from radiation injury. Based on this relationship, the recovery half-time for man is estimated to be between 15 and 22 days. (auth)
