Abstract excerpt

Female mice were exposed to 300 R of 73-93 R/min X-radiation either as fetuses at 18.5 d post conception (p.c.) or within 9 h after birth. Combining the similar results from these two groups yielded a specific-locus mutation frequency of 9.4 X 10(-8) mutation/locus/R, which is statistically signi...
