Description

Wistar-London rats were acutely and chronically contaminated with the doses of 0. 5 cSv, 5 cSv and 10 cSv of tritiated water (HTO) and subsequently irradiated with a unique dose of 665 cGy whole body γ irradiation, survival being plotted by an analytical procedure and showing an adaptation response for all the situations tested.
