This Part I report is a survey of the English language literature of radiation biology between 1947 and 1987.

Effects of interest were those that occurred within the first 12 months after exposure. The objective was to collate the literature about animals which yielded results that contributed to the basis of our knowledge about possible radiation effects on human beings. emphasis was on usefulness to extrapolate to effects on military personnel, with special interest on medical and tactical considerations. The format for this report includes a brief introduction to each subtopic, intended to provide a concise statement of the current understanding of that subtopic. This is followed by a condensed description of the representative reports concerning the subtopic, more or less in historical sequence, and a short commentary indicating the author's impressions of the strengths or weaknesses of the available data.
