     NCRP 106 will answer all of your questions in sufficient detail or 
     refer you to more than you would probably like to read on the subject 
     in a year.
     
     Good luck.

     I am an Instructor at a Nuclear Power Plant and I've heard rumors of a 
     study done at Texas Tech? in which high activity particles were placed 
     on pigs in order to determine the total acute dose at which the 
     earliest non-stochastic effect could be detected. Is anyone familiar 
     with this study, and can you tell me the effect and doses involved? 
     Also as an aside I'd like to know the reasoning behind the use of 
     pigs.
     
     Thank you.
