Abstract
New mutations occur in about 1% of mouse sperm for each 100 roentgens exposure at low-dosage rate. Of these mutations, about 40% would perhaps not be a real health hazard to individuals inheriting them. Another 40%[long dash]the recessives[long dash]would not be apparent for probably many generations. Only about 20%[long dash]the dominants[long dash]would have effects on offspring receiving them. The author warns against application of his data to a human population.
