Since the progression c cmp one nt of El kind - Sutton type recovery had been taken into account,any molecular repair responsible for the repair of sub lethal damage should also occur to a much greater extent a t these The plan arian will ba used as a model system for the study of stem cell population kinetics,particularly with regard to the loss of different i at ive integrity and the animal ' s mechanism (s) for the control already shown the useful n2ss of the plan arian for such studies and work will continue alang the same lines. B study of former plutonium uorkers with plutonium body burdens will be continued and thorough medical examination,including urine analysis and lung cou Ets,ofas many of these men as possible will be Results : As ystEin for automated gradient analysis has been developed and construct ad,such that experimental points may betaken every two hours about the24hour Hela cell cycle.Experiments with L5178Y acd Hela cells are now in progress.A plan arian laboratory has bo en outfitted and a relatively local source of Dug ssi alu gu bris has
