Description

A study was made of the yield of reciprocal translocations in stem spermatogonia of mice exposed to α-radiation (238Pu) and whole-body acute and chronic γ-radiation within a wide range of doses and dose-rates. The frequency of reciprocal translocations induced by a single intraperitoneal administration of plutonium nitrate was relatively low and independent of the dose 1.5-18 months after the effect. The yield of the reciprocal translocations induced by chronic effect of γ-radiation was appreciably lower than that observed after acute irradiation with the same dose and grew lineary with dose. The RBE of α-radiation was 10-20 with respect to chronic effect of γ-radiation
