The effect of radiation energy on development of the fetus was studied after general single irradiation of animals at various periods of pregnancy. Mature primipara white rats served as experimental animals. Investigations were carried out in 2 series of experiments. The results of investigations demonstrated that irradiation of rats during the first half of pregnancy (on the 8th--9th day) by the dose of 500 r brought about the death of embryos in the early stages of their development. Retardation of weight, changes in the fur and curvature of the spine were noted in the rats which were born. Irradiation during the second half of pregnancy in the same conditions causes development of acute radiation sickness in the newborns with the death rate of 92%. (auth)
