All studies were published in the open literature or in government publications. Data published in abstracts was not included in the review. The secondary studies did not provide a complete dose response relationship (DRR) but did provide added value of multiple data points in support of the primary DRRs and dose range for high lethal, hematopoietic-acute radiation syndrome.
