Description

Frequency of mutations induced by fission neutrons in Tradescantia was studied at absorbed doses in the range of 0 - 2.7 rad. Below a dose of 0.2 rad no linear dose - effect relationship of mutation events was noted. Possible explanations of such effect of neutrons at very low doses are discussed. 5 refs. ,2 figs., 1 tab.
