Abstract
The effect of exposure of male or female rats to radiation 5 days before conception on the frequency of development of mammary tumors in their progeny is described. Mammary tumor incidence and the rate of their development increase in a population of female rats which were descendants of one exposed parent. Irradiation of would-be mothers produced a stronger blastogenic reaction in their progeny than that of fathers.
