[Cytogenic consequences of irradiation in monkey kidney epithelial cells].

Cytogenetic consequence of irradiation was studied in epithelial monkey kidney cells in 3.5-9.0 years after repeated daily small dose irradiation (2.99-4.9 r every day) and in 6.0-12.5 years after a single irradiation (550-652 r). The number of reconstructed chromosomes has been found to exceed spontaneous chromosome exchanges. The reconstruction of non-stable type has been also observed. Cytogenic consequency of irradiation was due to the experiment conditions and to the total dose of irradiation.
