Yet Dr. Lawrence's neutron beam, though designed only to harry atoms, is probably the nearest actual approach to the lethal ray of fiction. He decided therefore to take ample precautions. The control panel was moved 50 ft. from...
...field, whizzed into the core, nipped off the end of Dr. Lawrence's finger on the way. He and his men carry little gadgets resembling fountain pens clipped to their pockets, electroscopes to warn them of baneful radiations of the sort that set up tissue necrosis in x-ray experimenters. But neutrons, electrically inert particles, do not affect electroscopes, and penetrate many times farther than x-rays. Dr. Lawrence found that rats placed a few inches from the neutron source lost 80% of their white corpuscle blood count, and if exposure was prolonged the rats developed ulcers, died...
