Chromosome aberration rates in bone marrow cells and micronucleus formation in bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes both rise with increase in radioactivities of ¹³⁴Cs, and can be fitted to power functions of radioactivities of ¹³⁴Cs. In spermatogonia ¹³⁴Cs mainly induced chromatid breakage, and abnormalities in sperm can also be expressed as power functions of radioactivities of ¹³⁴Cs.
