This involves basic work on body cells and their chemistry, for radiation kills cells by causing subtle chemical changes inside them. At Argonne, AEC scientists are irradiating small bats and examining their tissue-thin wings under high-power microscopes, to study the effects of radiation on blood and its delicate corpuscles...
