A considerable increase in germ cell chromosome recombination was observed in male monkeys exposed to single whole-body irradiations of 10 to 400 r. Chromosome recombinations per roentgen in monkeys were much higher than in mice (0.114 and 0.078% respectively). Cytological and histological analyses of testis indicate considerable disturbance in monkey spermatogenesis after exposure to 10 r and temporary sterility 30 days after exposure to 100 r and 20 days after exposure to 400 r. The tests confirmed that the high genetic radiosensitivity of the germ epithelium in monkeys exceeds that of mice two to three fold. (R.V.J.)
