title: D-values of Bacillus pumilus spores on irradiated devices (inoculated product).
abstract: The D-values of Bacillus pumilus spores on various devices ranged from 0.14 to 0.23 Mrads. The majority of devices displayed D-values equal to or less than the value obtained on filter paper. Increased resistivity was also encountered.
