THAT MEN MAY LIVE. Aboard the laboratory 

 ship "Burleson" a goat suffering from radiation 

 sickness resulting from exposure to the atomic 

 bomb receives a transfusion of whole blood. Plasma 

 used is from a goat blood bank contributed to by 

 certain goats reserved for this purpose. Of the 



animals used at Bikini about 35 per cent were killed 

 — I per cent by the air blast, I 5 per cent by radio- 

 activity, and 10 per cent by research workers after 

 the tests, for study. No exact parallel can be 

 drawn between these figures and estimates of the 

 possible effect of the bomb upon human life.
