A study was made in experiments on rats of the patterns of formation of effective doses during continuous long-term and chronic exposure to radiation at dose rates of 5, 10, 50, 100, and 300 rad/day. It was shown that the magnitude of effective doses estimated by the Blair model is substantially different from the values observed in experiments at the time when the effective doses are close to levels corresponding to lethal effects. On the basis of the results of the experiments and consideration of the literature, a model was developed to describe the patterns of formation of effective dose in the case of long-term and chronic exposure to radiation.
