[Radiation doses and allozyme variability in the population of the northern red-backed vole (Clethrionomys rutilus) from the east urals radioactive trace zone].

Abstract excerpt

The paper estimates the external (due to radionuclides accumulated in the soil) and internal (due to incorporated radionuclides) exposure of rodents that live in the head of the East Urals Radioactive Trace (EURT). It is shown that in the last decades the dose rates were lower than the values that lead to doubling the number of mutations in the allozyme loci in mammals. The variability ofthe eight allozyme loci...
