Abstract
It is suggested that regular blood counts are of no value to those occupationally exposed to radiation, provided there is regular physical measurement of the doses received. Damage to the gonads seems to be a more sensitive index. A clear distinction should be made between damage and harm; clinical experience is the only guide.Keywords
