Description

This paper gives an analysis of the time course of ultrastructural changes in neurons and blood capillaries in the rat sensometer cortex during the first 24 h after whole-body irradiation with fast neutrons. The rats were subjected to whole-body all-round neutron irradiation in the vertical channel of a VVR-M reactor. The results suggest that the time course of postradiation changes in cortical neutrons in the first 6 h is mainly determined by the direct action of ionizing radiation on them
