Lee, W R

The results of the RBE determination of tritium to cobalt-69 gamma radiation along with a description of methods of treatment and dose determination are given. Using the described procedures for exposing Drosophila to tritiated water, the authors induced mutations by tritium beta radiation and recovered them at the Adh locus.
