Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4043310
The frequency of chromosome recombination is used as a criterion of small-dose radiation effects on spermatogonia and bone marrow cells in guinea pigs, white mice, white rats, and rabbits. The tabulated data indicate a difference in radiosensitivity: guinea pigs > white rats > mice > rabbits. The results of the tests are analyzed in view of genetic danger to humanity imposed by continuation of hydrogen explosions. (R.V.J.)
