| Abstract |
Results from cytogenetic investigations into 66 cases of suspected over-exposure to radiation during 1976 are reviewed. This report is the seventh in an annual series which together contain data on 272 studies (for report VI see CIS 77-99). Brief accounts are given of the circumstances behind the investigations and, where possible, physical estimates of dose have been included for comparison. Review of the laboratory's published dose-response data for several energies of neutron radiation. Reference to collaboration in an international experiment in which comparisons were made between a variety of dosemeters exposed to a controlled criticality pulse. Two experiments are described in which inter- and intra-donor effects on chromosome aberration yields were examined. It was found that differences in dicentric yields were small, whereas acentric aberrations were more variable. |
