During the period from March 29 to November 11, 1954, the sperm of seven victims of the Bikini H-bomb explosion was examined 20 times.
These victims showed a notable decrease in number and mobility of spermatozoa as well as the deformity in two months, until finally reached the complete azoospermia in nine months.
These changes are to be qualified as the severe cases of the atomic bomb victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki or any of the nuclear reaction victims in the U.S.A.
We further made animal experiments on spermatogenesis using Bikini ashes.
