Abstract: To investigate cytogenetic and mutational eÚects in lymphocytes from individuals chronically exposed to radiation from the Chernobyl catastrophe. Materials and methods : Nine years after the Chernobyl accident (1986), peripheral blood lymphocytes from 20 Kalinkovichi children (age 10-15) and 10 Minsk children (age 10-17) were analysed for genetic damage by several assays. Radiation damage in exposed children was investigated in descendants of progenitor cells that were irradiated during a short period immediately after the accident. In the time-span between the accident and blood sampling the cells were also irradiated chronically by internal radiation originating from ingested radionuclides and, to a smaller extent, by external radiation from radionuclides.
