Abstract excerpt

Induction of mutation to 6-thioguanine resistance was studied in cultured near-diploid mouse cells (m5S) in plateau and log phase after exposure to gamma rays at dose rates of 30 Gy/h, 180 mGy/h, or 13 mGy/h. In plateau-phase culture, lowering the dose rate from 30 Gy/h to 13 mGy/h resulted in an...
