title: The effect of krypton ions on Artemia cysts.
abstract: Dry eggs of Artemia salina were exposed to 80 KV-X-rays and Kr-Ions (energy: 11.75 MeV/u; LET: 3500 KeV/microns). Emergence, hatching and survival were determined. The results demonstrate a very high resistance both to sparsely and ionizing radiation.
