Abstract

In vitro dose-response curve is presented for chromosome aberrations (dic.) in human lymphocytes exposed to acute cobalt-60 gamma radiation at different doses at dose rate of 0.3 Gy/min. The data showed that the relation between frequency of chromosome aberration and radiation dose, fitted to the linear quadric model: y = (4.88 +/- 0.57)x2 + (3.42 +/- 0.97)x + (0.06 +/- 0.08). This serves as basis of biological dosimetry
