Abstract
Data are presented which relate somatic mutations to both acute and chronic exposures of ionizing radiation. These data lead to the conclusion that if the somatic mutations observed are primarily the result of deficiencies, these must be small enough to permit adequate survival of the mutant cells. The maximum yield of these mutations is obtained from high intensity exposure. It appears that radioinduced somatic mutations may be a valuable source of variation. (J.R.D.)
