Abstract
- Blood samples were spiked with Na-24 to study the separate effect of this nuclide on the incidence of chromosomal aberrations in neutron irradiated blood samples. A delay of 96 h was allowed before cultivation, so the results of chromosomal aberration analysis could be compared with the results obtained by direct irradiation of blood samples with U-235 fission neutrons [7]. The absorbed dose was calculated using a simple conservative model. From the results obtained we can conclude that Na-24 alone was not the reason for the difference in the incidence of chromosomal aberrations between blood samples cultivated immediately after "in vitro" irradiation by U-235 fission neutrons and samples which were cultivated after 96 h storage.
