Abstract
An in vitro dose response has been obtained for chromosome aberration induction in human lymphocytes exposed for 24 hours to tritiated water in whole blood. An RBE at low doses of 1.13 ± 0.18 has been calculated by comparison with 250 kVp X rays. The application of these results in cases of accidental exposure to tritiated water is discussed.
