Abstract
A swim tank was designed to measure behavioral incapacitation in rats. A preliminary experiment is reported in which the swim tank was used to identify both the phase of early transient incapacitation and that of permanent complete incapacitation which occur after a supralethal pulse of mixed neutron and gamma radiation.Keywords
