Abstract
THE majority of investigations of the effects of ionizing radiation at the cellular level have been confined to simple or fractionated exposures usually at comparatively high dose rates. There are relatively few quantitative data on the effects of continuous irradiation at low dose rates and most of these refer to suspension cultures of cells1. This communication reports experiments using tritium oxide (tritiated water) in the medium as a source of radiation for monolayer cultures.
