[Criteria for assessing the radioresistance of the Central Asiatic turtle].
A study was made of a phenomenal radioresistance of Testudo horsfieldi. The authors described the features of the postirradiation death at different seasons. A threshold number of the affected systems in the turtles was one order lower than that of mammals. A positive correlation was found between specific affection of the systems and the degree of their radioresistance.
