Abstract
The absorbed dose rate in stamen hairs of Tradescantia for .beta. rays from the applied 131I was calculated. The doubling dose for the 131I (4 nCi) applied to the inflorescence was estimated to be higher than 0.3 rad (assuming uniform distribution of 131I on the surface of the buds and assuming that the shape of the buds was a sphere) and lower than 1.0 rad (131I distributed uniformly in the buds).This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
