[The genetic monitoring of the house mouse population from areas contaminated by radionuclides as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].

Abstract excerpt

In 1986-1994, genetic effects of radiation on males of wild mice caught in areas of radioactive contamination after the Chernobyl reactor accident were studied. The gamma-radiation dose rates on the soil surface in the areas varied from 0,02 to 200 mR/h. The frequency of reciprocal translocations in mouse spermatocytes was relatively low and increased linearly with increasing of the dose rate. The levels of...
