Abstract
Male CBA mice were exposed to radium gamma-rays at various dose rates. A dose rate of 33.3 r/week produced total sterility after 15-17 weeks. A dose of 200 r at a rate of 8.0 r/week induced sterility in 39% of the mice. At a dose rate of 1.64 r/week, 40 r induced sterility in 14% of the mice.Keywords
