title: [The estimation of ionizing irradiation impact on Vicia cracca cenopopulations growing on the territory contaminated with the wastes of radium production].
abstract: The radiation exposure on cenopopulations Vicea cracca L. growing on the territory contaminated with the wastes of radium production was estimated. The relationship between the chromosome aberration in seedlings root tip cells and irradiation dose was found to be linear. The significant cytogenetic effects in chronically irradiated Vicia cracca cenopopulation are observed at doses (equal to 0.006-0.7 Gy) 10 times upward the natural radiation background level. The reduced reproductive success (significantly increased embryonic lethal mutation level) is observed at weighted absorbed doses (equal to 0.2-0.7 Gy) up to 200-700 times higher than the natural radiation background level. It is showh, that the radiation hygienic standards of permissible exposure are noticeably stricter that the radioecological limits.
