Radiological and Environmental Research Division annual report, July 1972-June 1973. A detailed study of both stable and unstable chromosome abnormalities in a single patient with a body burden of /sup 226/Ra is presente This patient was selected for detailed study because he had been the subject of previous detailed cytogenetic analysis, and was examined for evidence of any change in his level of abnormalities over time. An atypically high level of abnormalities in the patient suggest that his chromosome damage may not be a consequence of his radium burden. (CH)
