Abstract excerpt

The radiation-resistant free-living nematode Panagrellus redivivus was used to study mutation rates in oocytes, following gamma, proton and neutron irradiation in the dose range 45-225 grays. gamma-Radiation produced approximately 0.001 lethal X-chromosomes per gray over the range tested. Proton...
