Comparative study of the blastomogenic effect of chronic exposure to tritium oxide and external γ-radiation

  • 1. Institut Biofiziki, Moscow (USSR)

Description

In experiments of on rats a study was made of late effects of chronic action of tritium oxide (3HOH) during 6 months (37x104 Bq/g/day) and external γ-radiation (137Cs) which were delivered in comparable daily and cumulative doses. It was shown that 3HOH produced a more pronounced blastomogenic effect. The RBE coefficient of tritium oxide approximated 1, with a reference to the average life shortening, and 4.2 and 2.5, with a reference to the incidence of malignant tumors and leukoses, respectively
