| Abstract |
Of the 40 cases of suspected overexposure to radiation investigated in 1981, 8 were associated with industrial radiography, 8 with a major nuclear organisation, and 8 with an institution of research, education or health. In dose estimates made from chromosome examinations, 32 were in the range 0 - 9 rad, 5 exceeded 10 rad and, in 3 cases, no biological assessment of dose was possible. The dose estimate for the case with highest confirmed overexposure was 17 rad. The chromosome data obtained are compared with information from physical dosimetry. |
