[Certain characteristics of the perinatal development of children whose parents were exposed to the action of uranium fission products].
Analysis was made of the character of the perinatal development of 238 children. In 65 of these, the parents were exposed to the action of uranium fission products in the basin of the river Techa in the Chelyabinsk region. The parents were radiated approximately 5 years before the children's birth. The mean equivalent dose for endocrine glands (including gonads) of the parents amounted to about 12 centiSievert U. As compared to the control group, the basic one manifested a higher incidence of placenta and umbilical cord pathology. In the group of the radiated persons' progeny, the number of small-weight children appeared greater; a larger physiological reduction of the body weight was recorded as were later times of funic residue falling off.
