Abstract excerpt
In experiments with rats it was shown that with equal absorbed doses after single injection of 137Cs and local X-irradiation of testes the mutation yield in gametes was different when tested by the frequency of dominant lethals and half-lethals, reciprocal translocations, univalents, and chromosome fragments. A higher efficiency of whole-body irradiation as compared to local exposure of testes, with respect to...
