GENETIC EFFECTS OF CUMULATIVE IRRADIATION IN RATS. Technical Progress Report, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4841033

Results are reported for preliminary studies of the genetic effects of cumulative x irradiation in rats. No obvious differences were seen in the offspring of male rats irradiated with 450 r and mated with non-irradiated females and the control group. In generation 2, in which both the sire and grandsire were irradiated, the sex ratio of live births was 47.9% as compared to 51.5% for the control group. No data are available for the third generation. (C.H.)
