The main hazard to the nursing staff in hospitals where radiotherapy is carried out is in connectlon with the use of Ra. The risk of leukemia or skin cancer to the individual is considered negligible as is the genetic risk. Assuming a gene mutation in each partner of a marriage, the probability that the same gene was changed is about 1 in 4 x 10/sup 1//sup 2/ The protection and instructions to nurses working in the radium ward of the Churchill Hospital, London, is discussed.
