Abstract
White rats were irradiated by both iodine-131, which was incorporated into the thyroid gland, and cesium-137; these were dosed at about 10 a nd 6 Gy, respectively. A portion of the experimental animals was fed a diet enriched with powdered Laminaria japonica of known composition. In animals provided with this powder, the frequency of neoplasms was l essened, and the latent period for the major types of tumours was incr eased, compared to rats not given the powder.
